Iraqi Ministry of Education: No comprehensive entry to the national exams
In reports circulated today, May 4, 2026, officials in the Iraqi Ministry of Education clarified that the ministry is in advanced stages of preparation for the start of government (Wizariya) exams. Most media outlets and channels identified with educational sources, including نيمار ابن الانبار, قناة طلاب العراق الرسمية and سنتر السادس | Al-Santer, reported in coordination that there is "no Dukhul Shamil so far" (comprehensive entry to the exams).
The topic, which is a sensitive issue for students in Iraq, was also covered by institutional and independent media outlets. The Iraqi News Agency (INA) and جريدة الصباح العراقية confirmed the official position of the ministry, according to which the decision to approve comprehensive entry for exams has not yet been made. Additional channels such as تجمع طلاب العراق and واحد العراق conveyed the message to the student public using urgent language (عاجل), which emphasizes the great importance students place on easing the entry requirements for the decisive exams.
As of this moment, the statement remains unequivocal and there is no exceptional approval for a change in the exam entry policy. The messages coming from the ministry focus on technical and administrative preparation for the exam dates, while rejecting expectations among certain circles for a comprehensive easing of threshold conditions.
