The Music and Ballet School of Baghdad (Template:Langx) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq in 1970. It was initially opened as part of secularist cultural campaign.[1] There are also claims that the school was founded in 1968[2][3] and 1969.[4]
In March 2016, the Associated Press reported that the school was facing financial difficulties owing to the government's budgetary crisis.[5] According to the report, the Ministry of Culture had ordered the school to begin charging tuition.
School Structure
The school has approximately 500 students and is co-educational. Many of the female students are withdrawn at the age of 12 or 13 because their parents object to them dancing with boys on religious grounds.[6]
The school teaches students between the ages of 6 and 18 and teaches a standard curriculum alongside music and dance classes.[4]
