University education represents a vital link in modern societies, as it not only provides them with specialists and scholars, but also represents a gateway to launching scientific thinking in them and educating their youth in research, investigation, and intellectual responsibility away from the constraints of superstition and puritanism. This is what happened to launch the European Renaissance era when education was liberated from the yoke of the church and modern universities were established to Scientific foundations in research and teaching.

It is clear to everyone that Iraq is witnessing a continuous increase in the number of governmental and private universities and colleges, which vary in their scientific and administrative levels, up and down, and while this increase represents a scientific and humanitarian blessing by providing many opportunities for Iraqi youth to learn, as well as providing job opportunities for teachers and the rest of the administrative and technical professions, it It represents a curse in more than one aspect.

Verifying the scientific competence of the increasing private universities and colleges is very difficult, and there are many observations and rumors about their scientific and administrative level, which puts the reputation of Iraqi higher education at risk after long decades of sobriety, efficiency, and progress witnessed by the world in general and the societies of the Middle Eastern countries in particular, which graduate some of the brightest. Her children are from Iraqi universities.

Also, the excessive increase in dangerous specialties such as medical colleges, along with the laxity in acceptance rates in favor of study fees, as well as without the necessary strictness in administration, puts the lives of citizens at risk and underestimates the right of hardworking people twice, the first time to use money to bridge the gap between the mental and academic levels of students and their diligence in studying, and the second time. By flooding the labor market with these specializations, the effort and excellence of hardworking people is wasted. Among the many cases I now remember is that a town like Alton Bridge, for example, has 800 dental students!!

As for the greatest danger of the large and random increase in private universities, it is represented by the increase in the number of university degree holders who lack any skill needed by the labor market, their refusal to engage in self-employment and private crafts, and their insistence on demanding government appointment, to form an angry bloc of unemployed people exposed to political exploitation by parties and entities that take risks and gamble with the stability of the country. And citizens, these unemployed people moved to stir up unrest under the guise of demonstrating to demand appointments at a time when the state and its administrative apparatus are suffering from disguised unemployment and slackness, and after the government decided to suspend appointments for three years, and this suspension may be extended for more than that due to the burden that salaries pose on the budget.

Expectations and hopes are that Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani will be precise in granting a license to any new university or private college, and this is in the interest of the state and society, to advance university education and encourage young people to go to vocational and vocational studies, to preserve the integrity of the Iraqi academic certificate, and to stop pressure on the government apparatus. With appointments and stopping trading and political blackmail in this file.
