BBC News: Middle East: Iraqi scholars fighting for an education By Hugh Sykes
BBC News, Baghdad
"Violence, and fear of violence, are corroding educational standards in Iraq. "
" Even the planning expert at the Ministry of Education, Nabil al Mira, admitted to me that he keeps his 15-year-old son at home after bomb attacks in Baghdad.
He only lets him go back to school when the city has been quiet for two days.
So his son has been at home a lot.
Getting to school or university is a daily struggle.
Students and teachers are frequently delayed by bomb attacks, or by traffic jams near checkpoints. "
