Subject / Afforestation of schools and the roads leading to them
It is no secret that afforestation has many benefits in beautifying schools, creating lush shade, and cooling the atmosphere.
It works to block strong winds and prevent dust from rising, in addition to the economic benefits resulting
from planting vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees or those whose wood is utilized. Therefore, the Ministry of
Education sees the necessity of exerting more attention to the matter of afforesting school yards and roads
leading to them in a highly professional manner. To bring the project into existence, you must form
committees supervised by active teachers who take pride in manual agricultural work and view planting with
pride and appreciation. Work should begin starting from the current season by contacting officials in government
nurseries to obtain trees and instructions. It is preferable to distribute responsibility among students and assign
moral or material prizes to them to increase their interest and activity.

Subject / Admission of transferred students
Some citizens visit this directorate requesting mediation with the administrations of some
schools to accept their children transferred from schools in remote areas and who live close
to their places of residence. We hope that you will be a help to these good citizens in facilitating
the task of accepting their children, knowing that space is limited in some schools, as it is not permissible
to keep a child in a school far from his residence due to the resulting risks and troubles
that may push him to drop out of school or be exposed to those dangers. No doubt both cases
are not approved by us or you. Therefore, we reiterate the request to accept all students transferred to your schools
after confirming the proximity of their residence.

In view of the importance of health education in school and its great impact on the health behavior of students, in addition
to the fact that it facilitates the implementation of this directorate's programs regarding periodic examinations and various
vaccinations by encouraging students and teachers to contribute and participate in these programs, which is of great
benefit to them. Therefore, we have decided to organize a health education program in schools to spread health awareness and make
health services an educational process useful in guiding beneficial health behavior for students. This is by using
various education materials such as health films, bulletins, exhibitions, and extracurricular student activities. Since this
requires the effective cooperation and contribution of the administration and teachers, especially teachers of sports, objects, health,
drawing, and crafts, we request that instructions be given to school administrations to cooperate in this field. We have assigned Mr.
Mahmoud Wafiya Al-Obaidi, the supervisor of health education in this directorate, to visit schools and supervise

Inspectors of this Directorate - for review, and we hope this attempt will be a precursor to studying
the problems and obstacles facing education and teaching bodies to set
appropriate solutions and guidance for the circumstances and needs of our district.
Primary Personnel Observer
(( Copy of Recommendations ))
In line with the goals of education and out of our concern for the proper upbringing of the youth and school instructions,
and a desire to spread the spirit of familiarity and cooperation between teaching bodies and school administrations,
and to avoid problems that these administrations may encounter, and as a contribution from us in overcoming difficulties and preserving the reputation
of the mission of education from being subjected to criticism and defamation due to the actions of some... we see it as mandatory
for school administrations and their teaching bodies to re-observe the following.. accurately and apply it literally.
1- Establishing understanding and cooperation between the administrations of the two dual-shift schools to enable them to complete the school's
necessary deficiencies, repair some of its simple facilities, and maintain its cleanliness, beauty, supplies,
and furniture without regard to the fact that one is original and the other is a guest. We emphasize cleanliness in particular,
as the school must be a center for spreading health awareness in addition to cultural awareness.
2- The necessity of cooperation between dual-shift and nearby schools to benefit from supplies, visual aids, maps,
and illustrations as much as possible, with the necessity of strictly preserving them and returning them safely.
3- The necessity of implementing the recommendations of the inspectors during their brief visits to schools at the beginning of the school year
and not to linger or delay in implementing them under the pretext of not receiving the official letter from the Directorate.
By doing so, everyone contributes to overcoming difficulties, solving immediate problems, and organizing the study without stumbling
and in a beneficial manner.
4- Refrain from bringing the children of male and female teachers to schools and kindergartens during working hours
under the pretext of listening or any other pretext, as this distracts them from performing their basic school duty.
5- We strongly emphasize what school administrations and teaching bodies in general, and girls' schools
in particular, should pay attention to regarding the necessity of observing modesty in appearance in general and in clothing in particular, so that the effects of this are reflected
on the students. We also emphasize not wearing anything other than the usual shoes in school for flimsy health reasons,
so that the educational requirement is achieved, as the male and female teacher are a good role model for students in behavior, actions, and a decent,
respectable appearance far from adornment and vulgarity, and consistent with modesty and dignity.
6- We emphasize the impermissibility of female teachers bringing their own knitting tools to schools and working
on them during periods, as well as the case for other personal matters of their own.
7- Although hitting students is prohibited in schools because it contradicts modern educational concepts that
recommend guidance and treating deviation and abnormality with correct educational methods after diagnosing the causes
