The research concluded that, despite the increased spending on the education and health sectors after 2003, what has been achieved on the ground does not match the annual allocations, and this increase in spending has not elevated these two sectors to the required level that is commensurate with the importance of these two sectors in order to achieve Sustainable development, in addition, increasing agricultural productivity is something that cannot be achieved without developing human resources, and in this regard the state's role in providing agricultural education services to all members of the rural community is achieved in order to achieve equality in providing educational opportunities.
