Student –
Teacher Workshops in Basrah
A pilot project is being developed in 10
schools to present training and workshops
involving students and teachers. The purpose is
to explore the issues that have caused the
regression of education and to improve the
student-teacher relationship, and to better
understand the importance of reading and
education in the sciences. The Iraqi Civil
Center has agreed to help in this program by
providing computers and visual aides.
After training is complete in the pilot
schools, delegations of teachers along with a
group of the more accomplished students will
travel to other schools to make presentations on
what they have learned and the benefits gained.

Human Rights Principles
This program offers classes from grade school
to university level in various human rights
principles. Generation Iraq has obtained
approval from the Ministry of Education to
develop and teach these classes in the
educational system in southern Iraq. Programs
fostering educational enlightenment and
understanding are needed after years under a
brutal dictatorship. The rising generation does
not understand the concept of human rights.
Generation Iraq will help to formulate classes
in the principles of human rights, including the
rights granted in the new Iraqi Constitution.
A sister program will also be implemented to
teach basic educational classes in prisons.
Generation Iraq has been granted permission to
present classes in human rights, reading,
writing, and civil conduct.
This training will be very helpful in
fighting terrorism and crime in the country. The
lack of training, opportunity, and hope is a
significant factor for many of the young people
turning to violent acts to express their
frustration and to obtain money.
