Iraq assigned the education portfolio on Sunday to Labor and Social Affairs Minister Ahmed Al-Asadi.
In a statement, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs said Al-Asadi assumed the duties of the Ministry of Education on an acting basis, replacing Ibrahim Namis Al-Jubouri after he joined the Iraqi parliament.
The government routinely assigns acting ministers when cabinet members assume parliamentary seats. Interior Minister Abdul Amir Al-Shammari earlier took charge of the Ministry of Migration and Displacement after Evan Faeq entered parliament.
