Ashna Sleman Abdulla, Najat Mohammed Faraj
This study aims to examine the social challenges faced by educational counsellors in developing the skills of students with disabilities within school settings. The emphasis on this objective arises from the pivotal role that educational guidance plays in supporting and enhancing the abilities of students with disabilities. Despite its significance, the implementation of this role is hindered by a range of challenges, which this research seeks to identify and analyse. Adopting a qualitative research design, the study employed thematic analysis to interpret data collected through in-depth interviews. Findings reveal three main categories of challenges. First, administrative challenges include a limited understanding of the counsellor’s role, inadequate coordination within work teams, insufficient material resources, a lack of financial rights, minimal incentives or recognition, and the absence of professional training opportunities. Second, challenges related to the counsellor’s professional performance, such as low job satisfaction and insufficient experience or expertise. Finally, challenges linked to the families of students with disabilities, encompassing non-acceptance or concealment of the disability, limited awareness and access to information, and students’ resistance to instructions.

Shaban Ramadan Hassan, Ayad Faiz Allah Othman
The study investigated the efficacy of Rafat strategy on Kurdish grammar acquisition among fifth-grade primary students. The research population encompassed schools within the Amedi District Education Directorate's jurisdiction. Through purposive sampling, researchers selected Isifka and Rozh mixed primary schools, randomly assigning subjects to experimental group in Isifka School (30) students and the control group in Rozh School (29) students. The researcher also controlled a number of non-experimental variables. A 25-item achievement test was constructed to measure learning outcomes. Following experimental implementation, data collection, and statistical analysis, results indicated statistically significant differences between the experimental group taught via Rafat strategy and the control group instructed through conventional methodologies. Mean score comparisons revealed superior performance among students exposed to the Rafat strategy. Statistical significance of these differences confirmed the hypothesis that Rafat strategy positively impacts Kurdish grammar acquisition. The findings demonstrate that strategic instructional interventions can enhance grammatical competence among primary school learners. This research contributes to the pedagogical literature on effective grammar instruction methodologies in the context of Kurdish language education, suggesting that innovative approaches like Rafat strategy warrant further implementation and investigation in primary educational settings. The researchers concluded that the experimental intervention produced measurable improvements in student achievement compared to traditional instructional approaches.RetryClaude can make mistakes.

Dara Tawfeeq Kaka Amin, Mohammad Ahmad Rasul
One of the most important reasons for communities developing is the educational system. It has a direct impact on all other aspects of life, which is why it is so important for advanced communities, because success in education leads to success in other aspects of living. Pzhadar is an isolated location. It is in the region's order. Many of it residents were illiterate due to the lack of schools in the area, with the exception of few religious educational systems that were served at random. However, after the revolution of July 14, 1958, which changed the country's political system from a monarchy to a republic, education progressed, while much religious schooling was stopped. Pshdar was always an excellent place for partisans. As a result, all Iraqi governments have been an obstacle to the growth of the educational field. Furthermore, until 1989, the sector was growing year after year. This development reduced the number of uneducated people. This progress caused the community to take a step ahead, eliminating the regress of previous years. Even the girls went to schools and stepped into a new world, and as a result, many scholarly and educated people grew up in the area.
