The leader of the Shiite National Current, Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr, identified today, Saturday, the reasons for the discontent with school attendance, proposing several suggestions to reduce it, primary among them being the separation of the Ministry of Education from politics.

Sayyid al-Sadr stated in a statement received by the news agency Video that the spread of corruption, bribery, nepotism, and the politicization of education has created a dangerous aversion among students.

He added that there is an urgent need to launch a wide reform campaign to isolate the educational sector from political quotas and to put the management of the ministry in the hands of competent independents.

He continued that these steps come as part of a direct effort to save the new generation and preserve the reality of education in the country.
