This vision is based on the following principles:
1. Education is a dynamic and evolving human profession, both in knowledge and behavior.
2. The role of the teacher extends beyond mere transmission of knowledge; it includes fostering creativity through self-learning and collaborative teamwork.
3. Preparing competent teachers capable of achieving the goals of the educational process.
4. The Department’s role is not limited to teacher preparation, but also encompasses promoting the cultural and linguistic awareness of society as a whole.

The program maintains a strong connection to Arab and Islamic heritage, with graduates committed to advancing the educational and scientific landscape in Iraq. A key part of the mission is preserving the Arabic language—the language of the Qur'an—and ensuring its proper use and vitality.
