Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani has officially opened 790 model schools across Iraq via video conference, part of the 1,000-school project under the China-Iraq agreement.
With modern designs, these schools aim to reduce overcrowding and eliminate triple-year classes. The remaining 210 schools are expected to be completed within two months.
Contracts for the project were signed in 2021 with the Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) and Sinotech.
The Prime Minister also announced upcoming contracts for 400 additional schools, to be built and maintained by the private sector under the Iraq Development Fund, addressing the nationwide shortfall of over 8,000 schools.
