Thank you for your attempt to tackle an important sector such as Education. I would, however, disagree with some points both in the content as well as the way of their presentation in your article. I am not in a position to refute your claims, but I would say that you should have been more careful! Making sweeping statements as to say that ‘From child education all the way to university level, the curriculum in the Kurdistan region, as well as the rest of Iraq, is outdated’ is neither accurate not true! I personally am using books that are very modern in both date and the content!

Another thing is that the same students that have been taught here in Kurdistan obtain top ranks when they study their Masters and PhDs abroad! There are many more things to say, but I just wanted to give a reminder for your future writings.
