Postponing the opening of the school year to October 11. The Minister of Education clears the way for the completion of preparations

The Minister of Education, Abdul Karim Abtan Aljabouri, ordered the start of the 2017 school year to be postponed to next Sunday, October 11, instead of September 20, to allow time to complete the examination procedures in the second cycle for classes that have not finished, and to prepare the schools for the new year.

The decision included taking into account the rising temperatures during this period, while completing school, technical and administrative requirements before the students begin their work across Iraq.
