This is to certify that Miss Souad Ezra Murad Shemtob whose birthdate
is 17.6.1958, was admitted in October 1970, to the First Intermediate Form
of Frank Iny School after having passed, in May 1970, the Iraq State Bacca-
laureate Examination for Primary Education, ranking 22nd among 31 candidates
from Frank Iny Primary School. This examination is, in standard, equivalent
roughly to the Common Entrance Examination of the English Schools or to the
final examination of grade 7 of the American Schools.
The above student is at present attending the First Intermediate Form
of Frank Iny School which, in standard, is equivalent roughly to grade 8 of
the American High Schools.
In May 1971, Miss Souad E. M. Shemtob sat the final examination for the
First Intermediate Form of Frank Iny School and passed in all the subjects
prescribed for this form except the two subjects of "English Language" and
"Arithmetic with Algebra". She will, therefore have to take a conditional
examination in these two subjects in September next, and in case of passing,
she will be promoted to the Second Intermediate Form of this School.
Below are the above candidate's final marks which she obtained in the
final examination of the First Intermediate Form of this School:

standard, is equivalent roughly to the "Certificat d'Etudes Primaires" examina-
tion, ranking 28th among 30 students from Frank Iny School. This examination
was conducted in Baghdad by a special commission from the French Cultural
Centre in May, 1971.
While in Frank Iny School, Souad E. M. Shemtob was always diligent and
of good character.
