The educational institution is one of the important indicators of the advancement and development of societies and the elevation of their culture to a high level. Education and science are the clear water that sweeps away all backwardness in its path. Whenever you see ignorance present, you see all the ills of societies, from sectarian, ethnic or tribal conflicts, high levels of crime, backwardness in the field of construction and the economy, weak services, lack of respect for human rights, high levels of crime, etc., developed peoples pay great attention to the field of education at its various stages, ending with studies and research. Based on these problems, the researcher decided to conduct a social study to monitor these problems that stand in the way of the educational process in Iraqi society, and to shed light on their causes and obstacles and find solutions for them, according to the social analytical vision, and to develop successful solutions for decision-makers and education administration, to advance the reality towards a better educational future that places the country among the ranks of developed countries. From this standpoint, the research came to answer the following questions: What are the challenges that led to the decline in the level of education in Iraq? What are the obstacles facing the educational and learning institution in Iraq? The researcher reached a number of conclusions, including the fact that Iraqi society has recently suffered from deteriorating economic and political conditions, which have had a negative impact on the level of education and upbringing for a long period of time due to weak strategic planning in the educational system.
