The Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) is a Tunis-based specialized institution working under the umbrella of the League of Arab States. It is essentially concerned with the development and coordination of the activities related to education, culture and sciences in the Arab World. It was established by virtue of Article 3 of the Arab Cultural Unity Charter, and was officially announced in Cairo on July 25, 1970. 

The delegations were closely acquainted with the high quality and modern education of the Stirling Schools in Iraq and KRI. The meeting also involved discussions on the coordination and future projects and developments of the education process in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and the broader region.  

 We are proud to host the ALECSO and KTU delegations to share our vision for education in the region and looking forward to collaborating in reimagining the education sector.
