However, the country has no clear strategy or plan of action for WfD. The existing WfD structures in Iraq do not have the authority or clear agendas to move forward. In addition, the necessary linkages across technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs and other types of education or the work place are limited. As a result, Iraq was rated at a Latent stage for all three dimensions on the Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) WfD assessment: Strategic Framework, System Oversight, and Service Delivery.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC STANDARDSACCREDITATIONACCREDITATION SYSTEMSADULT LEARNINGADVANCED STUDENTSADVANCED TRAININGCAREERCAREER DEVELOPMENTCOLLEGESCOMMON CURRICULACONTINUING EDUCATIONCONTINUOUS EDUCATIONCONTINUOUS TRAININGCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DESIGNCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPMENT PLANSDEVELOPMENT POLICYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC RESOURCESEDUCATION DEPARTMENTEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION INSTITUTIONSEDUCATION MINISTRIESEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION PROVIDERSEDUCATION STRATEGYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEMPLOYMENT STRATEGIESENROLLMENTENROLLMENT RATEENROLLMENT RATESENROLLMENT TARGETSFTEGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT POLICIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPORTANT POLICYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINSTRUCTORSINTERVENTIONSINVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATIONJOB CREATIONJOB MARKETJOB-SEEKERSKINDERGARTENLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET NEEDSLABOR SUPPLYLABOUR FORCELEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLEVELS OF LITERACYLIFELONG LEARNINGLITERACYLOW SCHOOL ENROLLMENTMANDATESMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMULTIPLE LEARNING PATHWAYSNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL PLANNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORKNATIONAL STRATEGYNET ENROLLMENTNET ENROLLMENT RATENUMBER OF STUDENTSOCCUPATIONAL SKILLSOCCUPATIONSPLAN OF ACTIONPLANS OF ACTIONPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY GOALSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE TRAININGPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROFESSIONAL STANDARDSPROGRESSPROVISION OF SERVICESPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC SUPPORTPUBLIC TRAININGQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY CONTROLQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF LIFEQUALITY OF SERVICESRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESPECTRURAL AREASSCHOOL CERTIFICATESCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOLSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSECONDARY EDUCATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE TRAININGSKILL LEVELSKILL LEVELSSKILLED LABORSKILLED WORKERSSKILLS ACQUISITIONSKILLS COMPETENCIESSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL CONDITIONSSPONSORSSTATE EDUCATIONSTRATEGIC PRIORITIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTEACHERSTECHNICAL COLLEGESTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL INSTITUTESTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCESTRAINEESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING FACILITIESTRAINING INSTITUTESTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING SERVICESTYPES OF EDUCATIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSAL EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY LEVELURBAN AREASVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGWARWORKFORCEYOUTH10.1596/20149
