Fact finding team report revealed a series of negative phenomenon affects on habitual performance of the ministry of higher education and scientific research, missions` dep.

Fact-finding team for the prevention office, CoI, registered routine performance in the deal of the personnel with petitioners of scholarships to abroad or with the students` parents in many Arab and foreign countries. The most prominent features of the negative performance established by the team in its report, which CoI sent a copy to the office of the minister is the slow of process made by the staff with regard to accomplishing the petitions as well as the existence of unjustified red tape. The long timeframe to open a study file for the students and the staff refrains from dealing flexibility with petitioners and answering their questions related to the missions or the accomplishment of petitions that forced citizens to check records of the office themselves searching the destiny of those petitions.

The team stated for a significant note established by citizens dealing with this office for enquiring the missions is ambiguity declaration on missions and scholarships which answered online that does not continuously updated and the lack of reliable media fields to declare that would lead to miss the chance from citizens to get the scholarship.  In search for facts, the team met with missions office director general and his two assistants. They revealed that number of the Iraqi those sent abroad for study amounted (14,000) persons distributed on many Arab and foreign countries. The team stated that the office has took measures to ensure civilized dealing by using electronic system administration for students` missions in abroad, issuance cards for petitioners to ensure their continuous with the office and to speeding up their petitions to be achieved. But CoI team observed no existence of the guidance signs in the office corridors nor information related to petition accomplishment, its steps, its accomplishment mechanisms, its required documents as well as accumulated petitioners in corridors. The team pointed out that the staff was not wearing ID badges; there was no camera for observing ways of dealing the staff with citizens as that required by the national Compiegne to fight corruption and there was no receptionist in the office lobby for answering petitioners.

Among of many reasons of postpone petitions in the mission office of the ministry of higher education and scientific research is the absence for special section to accomplish financial petition of students and there is no consultant legal body that forced the office to address the legal office on any matter. The critical feature department attributed the emergence of these negative indicators to the small number of staff compared to the pressure of work and the momentum of the petitioners and to the lack of programmers in office sections, which impedes the achievement of the electronic database.

In order to pass the disadvantages, the fact-findings team recommended to reconsider the legislations related to the themes of missions, financial aid, fellowships. The team recommended also to address the apparent imbalance in performance, increasing the number of staff and programmers, expanding the horizons of cooperation with other ministries and state institutions to ensure higher education opportunities for its members to seek the appointment of senior certificates of non- staff.
