Attempts to rebuild the university system in Iraq are being hampered by insurgency, doubts about the country's long-term stability, and, according to the country's ambassador to Unesco, Muhi al-Khateeb, a perception of corruption. However, Akhtar Najmaddin, Minister for Higher Education of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region, argues that the Kurdish region offers a relatively safe have for international collaborators.
