Introduction
The main purpose of organizing these instructions is to guide directors and their assistants in performing their duties. It is hoped that they will be
of assistance to political governors and others who have no direct connection with the Ministry of Education, helping them to conduct matters
pertaining to official schools.
A significant amount of care has been spent on their arrangement, and we have utilized the regulations of the Indian,
Egyptian, and Sudanese governments regarding this subject, and we have adapted from them whatever we wished with full freedom.
The Ministry has realized - while acknowledging this adaptation - that conditions in Iraq differ from conditions in other places;
however, the mechanical depiction of pages has been aided by experiments specific to this country.
Opinions were expressed that it was necessary to publish such instructions before this time, and it is thought at first glance that they are right
in that. In response to this criticism, we say, while knowing the urgent need for them for some time, we have seen it more prudent to postpone
their publication until a time when experiments have matured. Had we attempted to publish them a year ago when the Ministry of Education was in its
infancy, it would likely have been necessary to correct and reprint them within a few months.
Furthermore, we intended not to make these instructions overly difficult in their subjects. Because the desired goal is guidance
with simplicity rather than establishing eternal instructions that do not change over time. Many matters have been left to the responsibility of the director
himself, and even more to the opinion of the political governors.
Another publication must be issued in the future in a more complete manner. Suggestions made by those
concerned with the reform of these instructions are welcomed with gratitude.
We conclude our words by saying that the best school is the one that feels the benefit and importance of the system and the laws that dictate
its adherence on one hand, and aims on the other hand for something higher than the careful execution of its original duties. It is a
recognized matter that upbringing and education in many Eastern schools are like bones without life, and that which transforms these
bones into a living creature is continuous effort and the desire for science and knowledge, and nothing else, if accompanied by the knowledge
that science is an end in itself and not a means to reach other purposes: - and that education is life with breadth of thought, strength,
and activity.
