At a Ministerial Meeting Shaping the Future of Examinations in Iraqi Public and Private Universities
Prof. Dr. Angham Jassim Al-Rumahi, Dean of the College of Health and Medical Technologies – Kufa and Chairperson of the Deans’ Committee for Health and Medical Technical Specialisations, attended the expanded ministerial meeting dedicated to organising the evaluative examination in Iraqi universities.
The meeting was chaired by His Excellency the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Prof. Dr. Haider Bahaa Al-Hassani, and attended by Prof. Dr. Salah Hadi Saleh Al-Fatlawi, Head of the Scientific Supervision and Evaluation Authority, along with several heads of committees representing scientific and humanities specialisations at Iraqi universities. The meeting was devoted to establishing mechanisms for organising the evaluative examination for corresponding academic departments in public and private universities subject to the examination.
Participants thoroughly discussed the academic and procedural mechanisms and regulations required to ensure examination integrity, fairness in results, and equal opportunities for students. They also addressed the adoption of unified scientific standards for preparing examination questions, taking into consideration the nature of each specialisation and students’ academic achievement levels, while drawing on the expertise of specialised academics in preparing, reviewing, and evaluating examination questions.
The participants emphasised that the evaluative examination is not merely an examination procedure; rather, it is an instrument for measuring students’ academic achievement and assessing the efficiency of academic performance in corresponding academic departments. This contributes to enhancing the quality of higher education, consolidating standards of academic excellence, and improving the quality of educational outcomes across Iraqi universities.
The participation of Prof. Dr. Al-Rumahi underscores the prominent standing of the College of Health and Medical Technologies – Kufa and its pivotal role in shaping academic decisions concerning health and medical technical specialisations at the national level.
