The guardians of some failing students, who were covered by the
recent promotion decision of the Council of Ministers, have begun visiting the administration of this school.
Most of these students are in the first intermediate grade
and below, requesting to remain in the same grades they failed in for the purpose of
strengthening them. Please grant your approval for this matter, noting that all these students who
have inquired in this regard are very weak in their studies and that remaining
in their grades would be of great benefit to them.
