Second - Some teaching positions in this school are still vacant, especially for teaching foreign languages such as English and French. This requires the employment of teachers specialized in teaching these languages and their literature for ancient and modern eras. Third - We attach herewith a list of the names of Iraqi and foreign employees in this school, including the number of teaching positions vacant which must be filled by foreign teachers at the beginning of the next school year starting on the first of next October. The number of these vacant positions is four - as shown in the list. Fourth - The ⟦illegible⟧ employment of foreign teachers needed by our school will be carried out through advertising in newspapers inside Iraq and outside Iraq. Fifth - In view of the long time and multiple transactions required for the employment of foreign teachers in various official departments such as the Residency, Education, and Security departments, etc., and in order to ensure the regular progress of studies in our school from the beginning of the next school year by filling these vacancies. Therefore, please obtain the approval of the Ministry of Social Affairs in principle to increase the percentage of foreign employment in this school to 25% instead of the 10% currently adopted, so that we can ensure the filling of vacancies and ensure studies in the required manner at the start of the next school year. This is with the knowledge that it is very difficult to find Iraqis who are able to teach the vacant subjects in foreign languages in the most perfect manner, noting that the Ministry of Education itself is forced to employ a very large number of foreign teachers every year to teach in its official institutions due to the unavailability of Iraqis to replace foreigners in this field at the present time.
