The College of Law at the University of Baghdad has organized an electronic symposium entitled (The Quality Standards of Education for the Colleges of Law) chaired by Prof. Dr. Maha Bahjat Younis and Prof. Dr. Ban Salah Abdul Qader from the Public Law Branch in the presence of the members of the Council for Improving the Quality of Education for the Colleges of Law in Iraq, in coordination with the Quality Assurance and Performance Evaluation Division represented by the lecturer Zainab Razzouqi Shamikh and under the supervision of the Department of Quality Assurance and University Performance represented by Dr. Amer Mohammed Mahdi. The lecturers aimed to spread the culture of programmatic accreditation through dealing with the objectives of the educational program as well as the management of this program and how to enhance its quality.
The aim of the symposium is to introduce a guide to the standards of programmatic accreditation of law schools in Iraq, which was prepared by the Council for Improving the Quality of Education for the Colleges of Law formed by Ministerial Order No. 1255 in 25/3/2019, where this guide includes a seven-year scale to determine the extent to which the standards are applied or not or partially applied, according to eight criteria that can be based on the self-assessment of law schools. The professors reached at a number of recommendations; namely the need for applying these standards and to focus on providing and recording the necessary information in order to document activities, events and resolutions to get close as possible to the national programmatic accreditation.
