STATE CONTROL AND AUTONOMY OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN IRAQ: A COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

In order to develop the universities to play a pioneering role in community leadership, universities are the beacons of expertise and academics as incubators of thought, culture and literature. Universities are given some freedom in light of intellectual, economic, social, cultural and political changes. However, this freedom must be exercised within the context of what is known as governance. We mean selecting the best management strategies in the last term in order to accomplish the objectives previously set in the easiest way. This cannot be done unless the universities have a scientific and administrative freedom that keeps them free from political and religious influence and social norms.
