Schools opened in Iraq for displaced students

On Monday, Iraqi Ministry of Education said that Iraqi officials have opened 44 primary and secondary schools in various areas of Iraq for children displaced due to "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL) violence.
Ministry advisor, Issa Ali al-Udai, said, "The ministry has opened 44 schools for displaced students in Erbil, al-Sulaimaniya, Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, Basra and Haditha, and is preparing to open 69 more next week."
The UN Mission in Iraq helped equip these schools with supplies in order to ensure students do not miss the school year, he said.
