"Directives and Views of His Excellency the Minister of Education"
At ten o'clock in the morning of 15 / 4 / 1961, the fourth meeting of the Directors General was held, presided over by
His Excellency Staff Brigadier Ismail al-Arif, Minister of Education. The meeting was attended by Messrs. Dr. Abbas Taha al-Najm,
Director of General Education; Dr. Taha al-Yassir, Acting Director of Technical Affairs; Dr. Abdul Razzaq al-Jalili, Acting Director of
General Cultural Relations; Mr. Sadiq Abdul Hadi Jalal, Director of General Vocational Education; Mr.
Ahmed Yaqub al-Shamsi, Director of General Administration; Mr. Aziz Qadir, Director of General Education for Kurdish Studies; Mr.
Akram Fahmi, Director of General Physical Education; and Shakir Ali al-Tikriti, Director of Inquiries... and the Minister expressed at
the mentioned meeting the following directives, remarks, and proposals:"
The Minister
⟦line⟧
I would like to summarize some of the points discussed, and I hope they are recorded accurately and that each responsible person among you
pays attention to the minutes of the session after being notified of them, and that you set plans in light of these discussions, as there is no doubt that you are the effective instruments
for implementing everything that occurs in this High Council..
( 1 ) The current status of school buildings - I hope this issue is solved fundamentally, and that will only come through a technical,
practical survey, not a theoretical one.. It is noted that in Baghdad and some major cities there are dual-shift schools and schools where
three schools rotate in a single day. It is not right for this dilemma to remain unsolved, especially in this constructive stage
of our history moving forward in the cultural, social, and economic fields..
From my observations, I noted a deficiency in choosing school sites and selecting appropriate areas to be
modern schools, as I also noticed many factors and complexities that affect securing rents in a manner consistent with the interests of education
and preparation. Therefore, I request the Inspection to form a committee of the best inspectors who have administrative capabilities and are not deterred
by - routine - from performing their duties.. This committee shall conduct a general inspection in the Baghdad area of every school and provide
practical solutions to remedy the situation and express sound views on the suitability or non-suitability of school buildings...
I have often noticed that there is a failure in de-doubling despite our decision on this for some time.. The duty of the mentioned committee is to submit
its report before the middle of next June, and I see that it should focus its survey on rented schools and all dual-shift schools.
( 2 ) - The second point relates to...
Curricula
⟦line⟧
There is no doubt that the curricula are still in the experimental stage and have not yet stabilized.. Knowing that total general
stability of curricula is sometimes impossible to achieve quickly.. This is because the nature of science and culture is in evolution

" 2 "
And because modern civilization is always in a state of constant change and escalation. And all I hope is that our curricula will be
a starting point and a fundamental turning point in developing our lives and moving them to the wonderful society that befits our glories, heritage, and our leap
towards freedom, dignity, and prosperity ⟦line⟧ and we are all called to pay attention to the national education curricula that ensure for us the creation of the good
citizen with his qualities, his virtuous morals, his great capabilities, and his sense of the spirit of true citizenship and full responsibilities ⟦line⟧
All of this must be a prominent feature in social books ⟦line⟧ and the successful national education teacher, with his
bright mind and wandering thought, is able to always link the social sciences to each other and link the social sciences
with other sciences. If the social studies teacher talks about a lush garden, he should draw his students' attention to
the flowers with bright colors, the fragrant soil that produced these flowers, and the effect of flowers and trees on
the atmosphere ⟦line⟧ and which of those flowers and these trees are better than others. The teacher can also move from the garden,
the bright flowers, and the soil to the subject of our ancestors who succeeded one another on this soil throughout history, creating for us and planting
before us, and it was our duty to plant for our children and grandchildren and to immortalize for them ⟦line⟧ and to the necessity of preserving and defending the soil of
the homeland by all means, and to some of the decisive clashes in our history which were crowned by the immortal July 14th Revolution -
The connection must be complete between the social ladder and even the daily, weekly, or monthly exam questions,
and they must focus on this basis. One thing remains ⟦line⟧ which is that school administrations must gather
their students for five minutes at the beginning of the school day, where they provide them with general moral, educational, and guiding advice and directions,
and it is preferable to specify the topics that the teachers talk about in these five minutes.
( 3 ) The third point is: "
The Role of Teachers "
The reality is that we are still drawing long-term plans for the role of teachers and always thinking about developing
our curricula so that they rise to the level of their responsibilities in preparing teachers who alone make men.
I see that it is necessary to form a committee for this purpose in which the UNESCO expert participates ⟦line⟧ and that I do not represent the ideal teacher
whom the teachers' institutes must be able to produce and prepare ⟦line⟧ this teacher to whom his name, description, or profession applies
completely ⟦line⟧ this teacher who must enjoy rare advantages, qualities, and talents, which are the talents and qualities of the messengers
as supporters on earth for teachers. This teacher who must keep pace with the times and be aware of the intellectual and cultural horizons
everywhere ⟦line⟧ this teacher for whom I call for the establishment of a special library in his name - The Teacher's Library -.
As for the subject of educational courses, I tend to reduce them and dispense with them over time because they are a temporary measure dictated by
an urgent necessity ⟦line⟧ because they expand in quantity at the expense of quality or character, and as far as the subject relates to compulsory
education, which needs large groups of teachers and an expansion in teachers' institutes, we will implement
this principle within a studied plan according to the available capabilities.
School Donations
This subject helps the school to carry out school activities and events and to invest the free time -
for students, however, many schools did not handle the donations correctly ⟦line⟧ therefore I demand emphasis
and speed in collecting donations, buying books, and supporting school activities by all effective means ⟦line⟧
Setting Fixed Instructions for Schools
It is very necessary to set fixed instructions for schools that principals and teachers adhere to, because the school system
alone is not enough, but there must be fixed instructions related to every matter of the school's affairs, such as student attendance, their gathering, their periods,
their parents' and teachers' councils, and assigning them some administrative responsibilities not stipulated in the system, and preparing
their notebooks and the necessary reports on their academic progress and so on. It is possible to collect these instructions under the title
(Duties of the Principal and Teachers) or any other title.
It is necessary to form a joint committee for this purpose from Fine Arts, Physical Education, Teacher Training,
and Examinations.
Following up on Transactions.
The routine in the Ministry of Education, and indeed in state departments, is still complicated, resembling a spider's web, and I believe that the necessary
treatment for the routine in Education is to follow up on transactions by hand and to rely on official personal reviews
and following up on the matter or letter until the final stage ⟦line⟧ and I believe that 30% of routine problems will disappear by resorting
to this method.
I suggest on this occasion two methods.
To be continued please
