Abstract

        Educational services in Iraq face many problems that have reduced the efficiency of the educational process, as a result of the difficult conditions experienced by educational services in Iraq. This led to the accumulation of these problems and their exacerbation significantly over the years, as there was no fundamental solution to these problems. The study proposes a planning method for managing the educational system in Iraq, especially for the primary and secondary levels, where these negative phenomena are very prominent, especially the deficit in school buildings and the phenomenon of overcrowding in classrooms.

       In order to reduce the deficit in school buildings and overcrowding in classrooms, a proposal will be presented to change the existing educational system based on the classification of students on the school years (6-3-3) by changing the distribution of students over academic years according to a system for managing educational services for primary and secondary education. (4-4-4), and the comparison between the reality of the situation of the student rate per class and the need for school buildings, where the study showed promising results to reduce these negative phenomena if the proposed educational system (4-4-4) was applied to the primary and secondary levels in Iraq By reducing the shortfall in school buildings by (45%), which is reflected in reducing the costs needed to build schools to fill this shortfall by (46%), in addition to reducing the rate (student/class) within the approved planning standards for educational services.
