In December 2007 Assyrian Aid Society - Australia contributed Au$10,000 to AAS-Iraq for part of education expenses for the academic year 2007-2008. 

 

From mid of Sept 2007 there was a large turnout at the Assyrian schools specially after thousands of families immigrated to the areas of Nineveh plain and other nothern areas, and to Dohuk governate.  In addtion there were lot of college students from Baghdad, Mosul and Basra who had moved their studies to Dohuk and Erbil. This means that the burden increased on the Assyrian Aid Society. Many of Assyrian schools suffer from lack of teachers, and Assyrian Aid Society Iraq are obliged to pay those teacher's transporation fees and bonuses to agree to give lectures in the far away schools, which don't have full teaching staff in various fields.
