This study utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the priority of maintenance activities for various types of Iraqi school buildings. Given the significance of funding, it is imperative for the Ministry of Education, Schools, and other stakeholders to undertake maintenance activities in a manner that does not jeopardize the safety, functionality, and longevity of school buildings. In order to accomplish this, the systematic technique of the analytical hierarchy process was utilized, employing expert judgment and pairwise comparisons to determine the relative significance of the maintenance activities in proportion to the available resources. The study exclusively focused on school buildings in Iraq and chose individuals who specialized in building restoration. The data was gathered via an administered survey approach, and interviews were conducted with five building maintenance specialists to incorporate diverse perspectives from various individuals. The data collected for the maintenance activities was reviewed and structured using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Thus, it is recommended to initiate maintenance activities on components that are prone to experiencing specific loads or are connected to the structural integrity, such as foundations, roofs, and ceilings. Therefore, by taking into account these significant aspects, governments can contribute to maintaining long-term stability in schools and fulfilling the criteria for ensuring school safety. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy in relation to AHP has been demonstrated, therefore confirming its suitability for senior administrators in educational institutions. It assists individuals in assessing the significance of asset management by comparing the worth of assets to the resources that are accessible. The AHP model incorporates valuable information that enables decision makers to effectively allocate resources and enhance school maintenance operations.
