Instructions
(Directives from specialist inspectors to principals of intermediate, secondary, and vocational schools)
1- The school principal has duties and a guiding mission alongside his administrative duties; he is a leader and mentor who handles
organization and guidance, seeking assistance and cooperation from his fellow teachers and school staff in a healthy atmosphere
dominated by familiarity, harmony, and love to steer the school in a manner that ensures benefit and interest and secures
the educational goal.
2- Therefore, before the start of the school year, he meets with his colleagues and studies the work plan with them and investigates
the problems, factors, and circumstances that affect the processes of upbringing and education, and cooperates with everyone
in studying them and developing positive and peaceful solutions to improve the work and guide them in a way that
ensures the student's steady and healthy growth according to the desired educational goals.
3- These points are confirmed and effective positive decisions are taken about them in a clear and lucid manner, recorded
in the meeting minutes register and signed by everyone to be referred to and acted upon during the school
year, and the Province Directorate of Education or the higher authority of the school is provided with a copy of this plan.
4- This study includes all conditions and goals that affect and guide the course of academic work
the environment and the surroundings and their components and factors connecting them to the school building, the staff, the curriculum, the book,
illustration aids and laboratories and their deficiencies, classrooms, facilities, yards, trips, extracurricular
activities and the appointment of supervisors for them, parent councils and encouraging them, distributing and classifying students,
appointing mentors for them and researching the assurance of discipline and order, distributing tasks, lessons, and duties
fairly according to specialization, observing the implementation of what is stipulated in the curriculum, instructions, and directives
issued in this regard after studying them with understanding, realization, and scrutiny.
5- The school administration must support the teaching staff in enlightening and informing students about their duties and what is expected
of them, and clarifying instructions and regulation articles specific to them and making them aware of them, especially those related
to discipline and exams. It is hoped that their specific problems will be studied and efforts made to overcome and solve them before
they become complicated and critical and prevent their progress and growth. They should care for those of limited means among them to meet their needs
and support them with the help of their well-off colleagues and by utilizing other means.

Follow-up / 2
We appreciate the circumstances of some school principals due to the lack of necessary requirements for their work in terms of capabilities, staff,
and complete equipment; however, this does not justify their passive stance toward problems without an attempt and drive to solve
and facilitate them and overcome them. The success of the principal as a guide and advisor depends on the extent of his success in these
areas, such as making use of a nearby playground when the school lacks a playground, and utilizing another nearby laboratory
when his school lacks a laboratory, and borrowing registers and equipment from another school
when he needs them. Seeking the help of a competent lecturer to fill some vacancies; the principal will find with
simple persistence and sincere cooperation that he has overcome these problems, cleared them from the path, and facilitated productive,
fruitful work in his school.
= 6
The general teaching plan and lesson preparation notebooks—despite their importance in designing, directing,
and establishing work on sound, well-studied, and clear foundations—have not received the necessary care and attention from
the teachers. They are either neglected and abandoned, or prepared in a monotonous, artificial, and improvised manner. Therefore, we recommend the necessity
of paying attention to them and preparing them on clear and solid foundations that reflect the teacher's personal efforts
and his attempts at creativity, production, and innovation in material, method, and style.
The lack of special notebooks or booklets for this purpose does not excuse the teacher for neglecting this duty, nor the principal
for failing to guide him and obliging the teachers to adhere to it. Any booklet or notebook serves the purpose.
- 7
Leaving the teachers
The principal is an experienced teacher who has practiced teaching and become acquainted with the problems of students and teachers. He possesses the personal,
professional, and administrative qualities and qualifications that enable him to help, guide, and advise those working with him with tact,
understanding, and flexibility within a healthy family atmosphere (with seriousness and firmness where appropriate). Therefore, he supervises
teaching, inspects classes, works to raise the level of instruction, and overcomes all obstacles and difficulties
that prevent the student's growth in the fields of mental, social, and moral activity. The principal must double
his efforts to take the hand of the new or weak teacher and provide him with help and guidance.
The school principal must record these visits in a special notebook of his own, including a summary of the visit and documenting
important points to serve as a reference for evaluating the teacher's efforts and as a basis for his promotion, accountability, and utilizing
him in other fields consistent with his status and qualifications. It is preferable to make the findings of the visits
a subject for discussion and study in teachers' council meetings, while being careful not to turn them into
a tool for narrow trials and disputes that affect the feelings of colleagues and disturb the school atmosphere.
- 8
The school principal takes care of the school records and gives them his full attention. While he distributes the work between himself,
his assistants, his clerks, and those teachers fit for the task—and documents the distribution of work in a statement issued in this
regard—he continues his monitoring, supervision, and inspection of these records to ensure the correctness and accuracy of organization and the recording
of what must be recorded at the specified times, in accordance with instructions and regulations. He must not slacken or be negligent in
this regard, and he should personally take on—with the assistant's help—the preparation and organization of important records
such as the grade registers and daily attendance registers. The records that must be available in the school,
organized with mastery and accuracy, and be the subject of continuous care are:
The general student registry, daily inspection registers and inspection papers, grade registers, library
books, furniture, supplies, petty cash, stamps, sports and school activity revenues,
the cooperative school shop, inspectors' observation registers, the doctor's register, the register of
documents and certificates, minutes of the teachers' council, the discipline committee register, the register for notifying
circulars, orientations, and instructions, minutes of the parents' council and related registers, registers of
books and their sale, distribution, and accounts, the class visit and inspection register, the orientations register
issued by the general inspectorate and specialist inspectors, and the register of circulars and instructions issued
by the Ministry of Education and its general directorates.

Laboratory records are to be prepared and organized by the responsible teachers and shall be subject to audit by the principal to ensure their adequacy
and preparation in accordance with their specific instructions.
The school principal and his assistant must take care of organizing the schedules and placing them in their proper locations in the administration room, the teachers' room,
and the classrooms.
It is essential that every classroom has a copy of the lesson schedule, a list of student names, and a classroom furniture inventory,
prepared and printed with accuracy and proficiency reflecting sound taste. The school principal, upon transfer, must not leave his school
before completing the handover process with his successor or deputy, delivering all these records complete and perfected, along with
drafts of grade lists, as well as the school's furniture, equipment, books, and all its buildings.
10) The school principal and his assistant are obliged to inspect the boarding departments affiliated with their school to oversee the workflow
therein and to ensure cleanliness and that employees perform their duties in a manner that guarantees the cleanliness of corridors, kitchens,
facilities, proper cooking, food quality, and the mastery and accuracy of records, while applying the regulations with care and attention.
The entire teaching staff, according to a schedule organized by the administration, supervises the evening study sessions,
assists students in solving their problems, helps them with studying and effort, and provides them with guidance
and direction regarding health situations, good social habits, adherence to discipline, and the organization of their rooms,
lockers, and bedding. They should encourage them to engage in some useful activities in the halls and squares available
in the department to eliminate boredom and weariness, benefit from free time, and add an atmosphere of joy, pleasure, and vitality
throughout its premises.
Leaving all these tasks solely to the department supervisor, its director, or the person in charge makes the department
a gloomy and boring shelter, contrary to what we aim for.

common mistakes to record them on the blackboard, then assigning some students to read their compositions in class
for discussion.

and in terms of the progression of grade levels.

3- Benefiting from reading lessons to review previous grammar lessons without defective digression and without
allowing grammar to overshadow the reading.

1 — We previously announced on July 17, 1961, at the ceremony for distributing title deeds to peasants in Abu
Ghraib, that we have requested the official authorities to prepare special legislation that includes exempting all peasants across
Iraq from the agricultural land tax, similar to the peasants contracting with the Agrarian Reform.

a portion of the agricultural crops belonging to the peasants under the pretext of collecting the agricultural
land tax from them.
3 — We declare to all honorable members of the people that the exemption from the agricultural land tax includes
all peasants in all parts of the Immortal Iraqi Republic from North to South and from East
to West, and no one at all after this has the right to demand agricultural land tax from the peasants, and all
peasants, farmers, landowners, stakeholders, and administration and authority officials must observe the following articles.
First — Exemption of all peasants across the Immortal Iraqi Republic from the agricultural land tax
on all crops such as grains, fruits, vegetables, dates, tobacco, tombac, cotton, beets,
and all other agricultural crops that they cultivate.
Second: The Agrarian Reform pays the agricultural land tax on behalf of the peasants and those associated with the Agrarian Reform
as is currently the practice.
Third: The Iraqi Dates Company and Service shall pay the agricultural land tax on behalf of the producers, provided that the rate
is reduced to 7% instead of the previous rate which was equal to 12%.
Fourth: The Tobacco Monopoly Department shall pay the agricultural land tax on behalf of the producers for tobacco and tombac, provided
that the rate is reduced to 7% instead of the previous rate which was equal to 12%.
Fifth: Other landowners shall pay the agricultural land tax for their land according to the laws to be enacted and at a very
nominal rate for the agricultural land tax to ease their burden, and none of them may demand from any peasant who cultivates

Introduction "
The good efforts exerted by the observers of artistic activity, the teachers
and masters specialized in teaching arts, and the supervisors of artistic and literary activities and various
school activities during the past academic year and its counterparts in all provinces, including the province of
Baghdad, were calling for complete satisfaction and warranted thanks and appreciation. This was clearly evident in the artistic
production presented by most schools and institutes, which was successful and fortunate in general despite the lack of material
capabilities and artistic elements at the present time, and it is hoped it will double year after year after
the availability of various capabilities for that. Also, the encouragement of officials and provincial directors had a great impact
on the progress of the artistic renaissance and the dissemination of general culture in all schools of Iraq. Below are some instructions,
directives, and recommendations related to the subject, which are requested to be followed in the future to ensure the benefit
of all male and female students.
1/ Artistic activity observers are requested to implement orders and instructions literally and organize their offices and administrative
and technical work in an elaborate manner, and to set up special records and files for each artistic subject related to the prescribed
curricula in various institutes and schools, while setting up general records and files
for artistic and literary production and everything related to art exhibitions, musical and theatrical performances, and oratorical
competitions and the like.
2/ Artistic activity observers are requested to distribute tasks in an organized manner to the members of the artistic committees
formed in the center of each province according to their artistic specialization and to define the responsibility of each of them while establishing full cooperation
between them and the various school institutions and committees related to the subject.
3/ Artistic activity observers are requested to organize special tables for the teachers and masters
specialized in teaching arts and supervisors of school activities, stating the names and number
of schools in which each of them works, and mentioning the number of hours prescribed for them regarding curricular
and extracurricular lessons, with a brief statistic of the artistic production they provide during each academic year to be recorded
in the personal report and kept in their file at the Directorate of Education.
4/ Artistic activity observers are requested to achieve full cooperation between them and the supervisors of the centers of
illustrative aids in the provinces and to exchange views on every production and artistic and professional work that constitutes one day of the benefits
intended for all primary, intermediate, and secondary school students and for all home and vocational arts institutes
and teacher training colleges in Iraq.
5/ Artistic activity observers are requested to develop cooperation with physical education observers and scout monitors
in all provinces, given the close relationship between the two tasks regarding school activities and affairs.

3) Please continue with paragraph D
Because the message of art is a message of sacrifice, love, and tolerance, a message of cooperation, loyalty, and honesty, and a message of guidance,
culture, and service to the people and the homeland. The artist must adhere to these ideals and teach them literally to all
his male and female students to illuminate the path for them in their social life and during their professional practice in the future.
It is the most noble service provided by the clever teacher to the contemporary generation and future generations, alongside the great services
provided by other writers and artists to the public in general.
E/ All male and female teachers of drawing, sculpture, crafts, music, singing,
oratory, acting, and continuous school theater are requested to ensure the benefit of all male and female students, and that is
when performing their theoretical and practical applied lessons, with the necessity of giving them some general artistic cultural lessons.
Regarding drawing, sculpture, and crafts lessons, brief lectures should be given to students
about the history and most famous international artists, with a special introduction to famous Iraqi artists and schools of drawing
and sculpture, both ancient and modern, and working to discover those with artistic abilities and talents among them and urging
and encouraging them toward artistic creativity, continuous innovation, and practicing drawing and sculpture from nature and live or
still life models, and moving away from copying and imitation, and other matters related to the study and mixing of colors
and explaining them in an endearing and useful way. As for music and singing lessons, brief lectures should be given to students
about the history of international music, oriental and Arabic music, and Iraqi melodies, and introducing them
to the most famous international musicians and composers in general and famous Iraqi musicians and composers
in particular, and the development of music and writing notation with a detailed explanation of the most important ancient and modern string
and wind instruments, and choosing the best songs for them in meaning and melody, and encouraging the gifted among them to compose
and continuously play one or more instruments. Always regarding school theater, acting, and oratory,
brief lectures should be given to students about the history and literature of international and local theater, and a general introduction
to the most famous international authors, directors, actors, and actresses, and a special introduction to Iraqi authors, directors,
and actors, and encouraging the gifted among them toward artistic creativity, innovation, local writing, translation,
and adaptation from international theatrical literature with an explanation of general lines about theatrical directing and its types, and a brief summary
about cinematic art, alongside training students theoretically and practically in the subject of delivery, performance, and voice with special exercises
in delivering poetry, prose, and colloquial language, and paying attention to oratorical competitions in terms of quality of delivery,
composition, and Arabic grammar, and working on crowning theatrical plays, both historical and modern,
which are presented to students and the public so that the cultural and artistic benefit is focused and of great impact on general guidance
in all respects. These instructions must include the artistic production of primary,
intermediate, secondary, and vocational schools, domestic arts institutes, and teachers' training colleges in all provinces,
including the Baghdad Province.
F- It must be taken into consideration that a small amount of successful production is better than a large amount of failed production, and on this
basis, artistic efforts must be concentrated for the longest possible period on preparation, readiness, and continuous
exercises and refined training in order to ensure the students' benefit and the success of the artistic and literary production from all aspects.
G- Out of keenness to develop the talents of students continuously, especially the gifted among them, please take care
of all abilities and work on their progress and encouragement in various stages of primary, intermediate,
secondary, vocational, and higher education, aiming to find artists with excellent competencies and to benefit from them in the
future inside and outside schools, which is a matter worthy of great attention.
12- Those in charge of audio-visual aid centers in all provinces are requested to implement orders and instructions literally,
and to organize their administrative, artistic, and professional work and distribute it among the employees and technical staff
in their departments according to the specialization and capabilities of each of them, and expanding their artistic production according to financial possibilities
and materials available to them during each academic year, while taking care to distribute production and show cultural and artistic films
to cover all schools and inside the center of the province, districts, and sub-districts belonging to it so that the benefit is general
for everyone. This is with the necessity of addressing the lack of equipment, hardware, and artistic tools and filling important vacancies year after
another to ensure the progress of production and doubling it permanently, and seeking help when necessary from those with talents in
schools and institutes located in the province, in addition to exchanging viewpoints and ensuring full cooperation
with artistic activity supervisors and specialized artistic committees continuously, and benefiting as much as possible from elements
who have previously participated in official courses prepared by the General Center for Audio-Visual Aids in Baghdad. And work
also on developing cooperation between all audio-visual aid centers in the provinces because there is benefit for the students in that.

My brothers, teachers, students, and the entire education family...
On the occasion of the new school year, which we welcome with optimism, welcome, desire, and faith, I greet you
with the greeting of a brother to his brothers, a father to his children, and a friend to his friends, and I wish you a school year full of health,
diligence, and abundant activity, embroidered with brotherhood, love, and solidarity, adorned with science, culture, and glory.
It is a source of my pride and pleasure that the past school year passed with its strenuous
and appreciated efforts exerted by teachers and students in the school fields, which yielded a wonderful result in the flourishing of the educational
movement and complete stability in the academic atmosphere, except for some simple incidents that did not affect
at all the general course of the comprehensive and launched cultural renaissance.
My brothers, all messengers of education...
You know well that the ⟦blessed⟧ and resounding revolution triggered by the faithful leader Abdul Karim Qasim
on the fourteenth of July is a revolution with sacred and written goals, and it is an open cultural and intellectual revolution
as much as it is a stormy political, social, and economic revolution... The educational and cultural revolution that we are living
today, of which you are its soldiers, fuel, and oil, is but the shining ember that will lead us out of the darkness of the past era
to the light of the new era, and transport us to a noble life and a better future..
My brothers, messengers of education..
You also know that the process of education is not merely stuffing information into minds, but
preparing youth for life, creating a new generation emerging from ⟦its resting place⟧, building history and civilization, and crafting
a people, strong and proud, embracing noble deeds and keeping pace with free and rational nations on an equal footing... From here
comes the great mission of the school in the field of culture, education, and society; it must always occupy
its high level, and it must always be in the service of society, for it is the ideal role model for the home and the environment,
and it is the massive energy from which the light that floods the country emerges and lights the way for the rising
generations.. From here comes your sacred mission, for you are called to develop the generation's sense of conscience,
strengthen its self-confidence, and prepare it for life armed with knowledge, virtues, and good deeds.. There is no excuse for you
after the fields and equal opportunities have opened before you, and after the revolution freed you from the evils of injustice and tyranny.

⟦So build⟧ your republic, O teachers and students, stone by stone, and be steady in your journey step by step and preserve
the dignity of culture and the sanctity of the school by every means and price, and utilize your energies for the good of the people of Iraq, the Arabs
and all of humanity, and for sacrifice for the sake of ideals and high values in the world.. For on your shoulders the structure stands
high and from your institutes the sun of freedom rises and by your efforts the nation moves forward in its long and arduous path
So I ask my fellow teachers to observe the following: -
1- Performing the sacred duty and deepening the sense of responsibility in the fullest manner.
2- Working to create a school atmosphere capable of flourishing and reviving the movement of upbringing and education
3- Cooperating with others on the basis of benevolent brotherhood and the high ideals adopted by this good
and faithful country.
4- Benefiting from previous mistakes and correcting them with a high sportsmanlike spirit and an aware and constructive mentality, and a deep
faith in the message of truth, love, goodness, and beauty.
5- Always remember that the teacher is the spiritual father to the students and is the elder brother to them and is the pioneer
and the leader and the guide such that they are a good role model and a wonderful example for everyone around them in the environment
in which they work.
I also ask my sons and brothers, the students, to observe the following: -
1- Taking care of the school because it is the cornerstone for building the beloved homeland.
2- Respecting duty and paying attention to school assignments with desire and enthusiasm.
3- Respecting the teacher in their capacity as the father, the mentor, and the guide..
4- Living with colleagues in school and outside it in an atmosphere of brotherhood, love, and harmony.
5- Getting rid of the nightmare of grudges ⟦and replacing it⟧ with the light of love, tolerance, and virtue..
My hope after this is that the new academic year will be bright with your light and others
and full of your efforts and activity, and I always ask God to guard you with the weapon of science, and provide you with the sustenance
of culture, and facilitate for you a right course in your affairs..
