Illiteracy eradication in Iraq between yesterday and today from the madrassas to the comprehensive national campaign

Abstract

The illiterate in the language: the one who does not write or read is attributed to what he owes his mother, because writing is acquired, and in the Noble Qur’an: (And among them are illiterates who do not teach the book except my aspirations). The Messenger (PBUH) was said to be my mother, because the Arab nation did not write and did not read the written, and God sent him a messenger and he neither wrote nor read from a book. And in the (Education Dictionary): “An illiterate is a person who has reached the age of ten or over and does not know how to read and write. The developed countries mean education and spread it among the members of their people, and it is considered one of their responsibilities that they should undertake. This was known since ancient times when “the Greeks struck two wonderful examples that the examples of the state’s relationship with education, the Spartans followed the theory of state control over its affairs, while the Athenians followed (kinship policy) And they considered education to be a work of people, not a function of the state. These two theories took a philosophical manifestation in politics and education, and were evident in the writings of Plato and Aristotle. In his book (Laws) I suggest that education for boys and girls be compulsory.
