85% of Iraqi teachers have never received formal training in mental health or modern teaching strategies (UNICEF).
Teachers play a crucial role in shaping students’ futures, yet many in Iraq lack access to proper training and resources. Without adequate support, educators struggle to effectively manage classrooms, engage students, and provide a safe learning environment. Inadequate training also limits teachers’ ability to address mental health challenges among students, which is especially critical in conflict-affected regions.
A well-trained teacher can transform a classroom, ensuring students receive high-quality education, emotional support, and encouragement to succeed. Investing in teacher training leads to better student performance, reduced dropout rates, and long-term improvements in Iraq’s education system.
