Cultural Development in Iraq 1921-1933 (Baghdad as a Pattern)

Abstract

The slow growth in education in Iraq, the low literacy rate and the social conditions that surrounded the students did not prevent the educated class from expressing its opinion about direct positions that clearly reflected the sharpness of their awareness, and the continuation of the call for advancement in various sectors. Modern methods of education have discard old methods. There have been many attempts to reform and organize the educational system in which various national and foreign bodies participated, including the efforts exerted by Sate Al-Hosari, such as the issuance of the Law of Knowledge Boards in the brigades, which defined the duties and powers of knowledge managers, defined the duties of inspection, and regulations of private schools and tried to organize educational statistics. He also worked on the reform of the organization of primary education, initiated the reform of secondary education, and actively contributed to rejecting the proposals of some foreign committees that were then used as advisory committees on education at the time. There were a number of obstacles that stood in the way of cultural development in Iraq, the most important of which is education, where there has been a lack of financial allocations and a lack of educational curricula, and the Ministry of Education did not stand idly by. Cultural life in the city of Baghdad was different forms of scientific and literary councils. Their social groups and cultural levels, as the scientific and literary councils of Baghdad had an effective and influential impact in the Iraqi society in general, where the intellectual elite spend some of its time in the writings and literary and scientific theories.
The state has taken care of the health aspect because it is an important pillar of education, and its development to succeed a cultured segment, by eliminating the ignorance of the sorcery and masters in Iraqi society, hence the Iraqi state's interest in establishing and building hospitals and cultural clubs to develop the culture of Iraqi society.
