In Iraq to improve access to education

We are contributing to improve access to education in schools in the Basra Governorate, particularly in the Zubair district, and we are committed to improve the students’ academic performance, including the most vulnerable. Working with the Ministry of Oil, the Basra Oil Company (BOC) and local authorities, we have developed an educational strategy with two main focuses:

  • renovating and upgrading existing school facilities
  • the construction of new school buildings to alleviate overcrowding in the Governorate’s schools.

To support the country's development at a local level, we are involved in numerous projects to sustain the population in the fields of education, healthcare and the environment, and access to water. We are also actively involved in the exploration and development of hydrocarbons, particularly in the Zubair field area in the Basra region.
