Please note the following:-
1- It has been noticed recently that some of the official and private intermediate and secondary schools
accept students coming or transferred from schools outside the Republic of Iraq or from foreign schools
inside the Republic of Iraq without equivalency for their studies, which is a violation of the system and the law.
Therefore, we request circulating this to all secondary and intermediate schools not to decide on the admission of any student
of this kind except after referring to the Directorate of General Technical Affairs at the Ministry's Bureau, Department of
(Equivalency of Certificates)
2- It was also noticed that some of these schools accept students who are either failing or have left their studies in some
vocational schools. Examples such as.. industrial and agricultural schools, teachers' colleges, and others that are in
their class, without referring to us, and this is another matter that contradicts the nature of what the regulations
and instructions dictate in this regard, and we request circulating this to all schools as well.
3- The school administration will be responsible for any such action it takes without referring
to the competent authority in the equivalency of certificates.
Please confirm this accordingly.

which required postponement to another time. Therefore, we kindly ask for approval to complete the
voting process for the aforementioned election on Friday, 1 / 12 / 1962, at

Some schools have begun contacting other official departments directly on their own initiative, which is not within their jurisdiction
to contact, and without this Directorate being aware of it. For example, a school contacted the management of
Baghdad Television to film a party held by the teachers (male and female) at their school, and these are unauthorized activities
during the meeting.
And as schools are directly linked to the Directorate of Education of the Governorate and do not have the right to contact other
departments except through this Directorate. Therefore, we urge all school administrations to avoid this in
the future and to contact the specialized section in this Directorate to facilitate contact with other relevant departments
on their behalf, and to absolutely not contact any department whatsoever directly by the school from now on.

some schools have not paid attention to that and held their councils without submitting the mentioned request.
Since this is contrary to our two aforementioned letters and the (Artistic Activity) instructions notified
to you in our letter numbered 6938 dated 12/18/61, it is requested of all
schools that have not held their councils yet to send the mentioned request to this directorate
at least 10 days before the date of its holding so that we can obtain the approval of the Directorate of
General Technical Affairs at the Ministry of Education to hold the meeting and inform the responsible authorities
of that. The school principal (male or female) will be responsible after this date for every
violation in this regard.
2- Schools that held their councils without obtaining the necessary approval
above are requested to provide us with the date of holding so that we can inform the responsible authorities in the Ministry of Education
to include their school's name among the schools that held the meeting.
3- All books related to the activity and functions of Parents and Teachers Councils from now on

hold the meeting during one of the Fridays of each month.
