(( Copy of the Letter ))
It has come to the knowledge of this Ministry that some of the students who failed
for three years had approached some of the evening secondary schools for
admission, but the administrations of these schools refused to admit them because of
their failure for the mentioned period, knowing that Article Fifty-Three of the ministerial
instructions regarding private and foreign schools has permitted their admission and continuation
of study if they are exempt from military service or deferred. Please circulate
the above to all administrations of private and foreign intermediate and secondary schools
affiliated with you, both morning and evening sections, to note this and act accordingly and inform us.

We have noticed that many school administrations are still using ((instant photos with
adhesive-resistant paper)) in documents, and since these photos cannot be pasted with regular glue
and they fall off the document immediately after the glue dries, which results in obstructing student transactions. Therefore,
we request to stop using them, noting that we will refrain from certifying documents that carry such photos from ⟦now⟧

1 - Some official and private schools have specifically taken to changing the address of
school transfer certificates addressed to them due to the lack of vacancies
in their schools. Since this change requires changing the second copies of those
issued certificates along with the general registration record, it is absolutely not permitted to change
addresses except through the original schools, provided they are stamped and signed by the school
principal in accordance with the regulations. School principals must not grant transfer
certificates to any school until after confirming the existence of a vacancy in the school
to which the student is being transferred.
However, if the student is outside Baghdad, he must consult the Directorate of
Examinations at the Ministry of Education to change the address of his transfer certificate and inform
his previous school by an official letter and the Governorate's Directorate of Education of that.
2 - It is absolutely not permitted to accept students in private and official schools as auditors
because that violates the regulations.

We have reviewed the results of the general examinations for the three levels: primary, intermediate <del>and secondary</del>

a time when the Ministry of Education is keen to raise the scientific level of school students in <del>various</del>

and instructions for private schools when admitting students, organizing their school staff, and regular <del>attendance</del>
of their students and holding them accountable when exceeding the prescribed limit for their absences, as well as care when conducting examinations of
various types, providing the prescribed books in a timely manner for all students, and urging them to persevere and strive
to obtain satisfactory results and to feel responsibility as students who have the same duties as students in official schools,
whether in terms of general commitment to the system or in terms of scientific level.
Therefore, all private schools must work to raise the scientific level in <del>their schools</del>
and the purpose of opening such schools should not be material profit only, <del>as</del> the
Ministry will not hesitate to hold accountable or close any school that fails to perform <del>its duty</del>
