IMPROVING THE SCHOOL BUILDING DELIVERY PROCESS IN POST CONFLICT IRAQ

Abstract

The school building delivery process has been affected by the prolonged armed conflicts and wars that took place in Iraq. The evaluation was carried out through identifying the strengths, challenges and recommendations of the process. The study has also linked the challenges that the process is facing in post-conflict Iraq to the political, economic, social and cultural factors that play the greatest role in making this process what it is. The study adopted a multiple case study as the research strategy, using Saunders Onion model. Use of a multiple-case study has allowed the researcher to ensure precision and validity. Findings showed that the delivery process has manifested some strengths in post-conflict Iraq. The study also made recommendations that are derived from the features of the school building delivery process gaps and complexities. When a war-torn society begins to make changes in education, it can bring about changes in the entire society.
