On this blessed day, the anniversary of the founding of the University of Basra in 1964 and the founding of the University of Mosul in 1967 coincide. On this occasion, we evoke an academic history full of giving and performance for these two ancient institutions, and we recall scientists, researchers, professors, and specialists who made their mark and established a distinguished presence in classrooms, laboratories, scientific research, and international forums.
While we appreciate these two universities for their keenness to provide educational services and their effective response to scientific requirements in harmony with the goals of sustainable development, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research is confident that all of its university institutions are continuing to advance the areas of development, achieve the highest quality indicators, modernize their systems and academic programs, and reach their goals that interact with The global knowledge environment and its variables and the needs of the national labor market in the public and private sectors.
