Fungi plays an important role in the infection of humans with many diseases, including allergies. It has been found that there are many fungi in schools air in the city of Tikrit during the first season (Autumn) and the second season (Spring) to 24 genera as well as sterile mycelium and yeast. Cladosporium was found to be the most common fungus in schools air in Tikrit (kindergartens and primary schools for boys and girls and secondary schools for boys and girls) in the first season in indoor air (39.13, 30.76, 35.93, 24.56 and 43.75%, respectively). And outdoor air (45.16, 17.64, 25.63, 5.63 and 16.66%, respectively). There was also a repeat of the second season in the air of kindergartens and primary schools for girls (61.29 and 16.9%, respectively) then the fungi Penicillium, Alternaria, Rhizoctonia and Stemphylium. The total number of colony formation units for Cladosporium 99 CFU and followed by Penicillium (58CFU) in Autumn, in Spring Cladosporium (124 CFU) and Alternaria is 104 CFU. Cladosporium
