Education( knowledge) in Mosul during the British occupation 1918-1920

Educational institutions represented by religious schools and schools played a major role in the life of Iraqi society in the period that preceded the emergence of modern educational institutions in the second half of the nineteenth century. And enlightened politicians, a reformist trend emerged in the Ottoman Empire calling for reforming the situation in the various state agencies and institutions, a trend known as (charitable organizations).In this research, we tried to reveal the conditions of education in Mosul during the British occupation era 1918-1920. It was striking that Mosul schools, in the midst of the harsh conditions of the First World War 1914-1918, continued their educational activity, and the distinctive phenomenon in them was the growth of Arab nationalism, as he touched upon. The research led to the formation of a special knowledge council in the Wilayat of Mosul, which took upon itself the supervision of the educational curricula for the various educational levels, and that was after the end of the war and the British forces occupation of Mosul on 10 November, 1918. It also later worked on reorganizing the educational districts and dividing Iraq in the beginning into three educational areas, and then it was re-divided into five educational areas, of which Mosul's share was the northern region.
