The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of social capital in improving organizational learning by conducting an exploratory study that included the opinions of a sample of employees in the Open College of Education, Al-Shirqat branch and Tikrit branch. The study used the descriptive-analytical approach with questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. The questionnaire was sent to the staff of these centers, who numbered 98 all of whom had higher academic degrees, and were sent out electronically. A Likert Scale was used with 5 points. The most significant results showed that the social capital had a strong correlation with organizational learning and that there was a statistically significant difference among the variables of the study. The study suggested that there is a need to pay more attention to the organizational memory, that is, by creating a complete electronic memory to document knowledge and experiences and by strengthening the relational aspect and improving formal and informal communication.
