The College of Law and Politics held a workshop on active learning methods and using them for teaching various subjects studied at both departments of law and diplomacy and public relations.

Lecturers at the said college attended the workshop and were actively engaged in the discussion with Asst Prof. Dr Ahmed Bali, who managed and delivered the workshop.

One area of focus was the learning environment at the college, how it can accommodate the new learning methods, and how the teaching materials can be designed in a way that can go along and support the new methods.

Law departments at Iraqi universities follow strict guidelines that are designed centrally, often by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Now the question is: how is change of teaching methods and curriculum possible under the centralised administration of these schools?

The Kurdistan Region’s Ministry of Higher Education has recently declared that it is open to introducing new teaching methods and changing study courses if required.
