Subject / Screening of educational films
The extreme importance of educational films and the great impact that the screening of these films
leaves on students in achieving the educational goals sought by teachers and instructors
has prompted those concerned with educational affairs to exert great and continuous efforts to support educational film
libraries and work to provide them with many useful educational films. This is what we are all working
to achieve today, whether by expanding the library of films, educational slides, and filmstrips
in this Directorate, or through the commendable efforts you are making in all the provinces
to establish educational film libraries and expand what you already have.
Despite the great efforts made by those working in this field, whether in Baghdad or
the other provinces, the information and statistics available to us regarding educational film screenings
in schools have shown us that current screenings only reach a limited number
of schools. Thus, only a small number of students watch the educational films we have,
while the vast majority are deprived of them. This is something we must all work together
to rectify so that the desired benefits from our educational film screenings are realized for the largest possible
number of our school students. Therefore, it has been decided as a first step that you work on organizing
continuous screenings throughout the school year for students in your province under the supervision of a committee formed
of inspectors and teachers. These screenings shall be presented in available halls where
students are gathered in numbers not exceeding five or six sections or ⟦classes⟧ of similar levels alternately
according to semi-monthly schedules announced in advance, provided that teachers or instructors introduce those
films in the classrooms with an appropriate explanation before going to watch them. The specialized
teacher must accompany his students to watch these screenings, and he must also conduct a full
discussion after returning to the class about what was watched and answer the students' questions
regarding it. This Directorate is fully prepared to meet all requests for motion pictures,
filmstrips, and educational slides available to it for the purpose of screening them for students in these
collective screenings, in order to generalize the benefit to the largest number of our children who are in
dire need - as you know - to watch those films and learn about the scenes in them
that are difficult for them to see in the life surrounding them, and information that cannot be easily acquired
by other ordinary means. We are fully confident that you appreciate the importance of this
step and will do everything in your power to achieve it as quickly as possible, looking forward to your
fruitful efforts in this regard. With appreciation.

I have noticed through auditing the accounts of intermediate and secondary schools that the amounts allocated
for the school activity account remain in the possession of the school accountant and the account clerk, and spending is carried out
from them, then the remainder is deposited in the savings bank. To prevent any potential manipulation of these funds,
and since Article Six of the school activity instructions requires that the withdrawal of funds
must be done by a decision of the committee, and since the majority of schools do not adhere to the instructions, please kindly
issue a circular to the Directorates of Education to notify their affiliated schools to apply the instructions
correctly by depositing the funds into the savings bank immediately upon completion of registration,
and that withdrawal and spending should be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the instructions.

The tragedy of Palestine is no longer a passing event in the life and history of our Arab nation. Rather, it is a black
stain in the history of all humanity, for it is a crime committed against a peaceful people to expel them from their homeland in the largest
operation of racial usurpation known to modern history without any regard for the principles of human rights and the right
to self-determination. The forces of injustice and aggression, represented by colonialism and Zionism, collaborated in creating
Israel, this loathsome racial tool, to be a source of anxiety and constant aggression against the Arab
countries in an attempt to hinder development, liberation, and developmental and unity projects in the Arab
countries, and so that colonialism and Zionism may have more opportunities to exploit our wealth and loot our resources.
The Arab nation is called upon to mobilize all its energies and capabilities to achieve victory in the battle
ongoing with colonialism and Zionism to restore the stolen right in the Holy Land from its usurpers,
the outcasts of the horizons. There is no doubt that spreading awareness among the youth in schools and enlightening them about the dangers of colonialism
and Zionism, and sharpening their determination to contribute to the holy battle, each according to their capacity and potential, is among the most important
duties of the school. Duty dictates that every occasion should be utilized to explain our great national cause to the youth
and to instill the concepts of liberation and faith in our right and sacrifice for its sake in their souls.
This is—without a doubt—among the responsibilities of the school administration, the teaching staff, and the school activity council,
as use should be made of social studies lessons and other appropriate systematic lessons,
and types of school activities, especially lectures, seminars, speeches, newsletters, school journalism,
school radio, the library, and others to raise their awareness of the dangers of colonialism and Zionism and make them feel their role
and responsibilities as citizens to face these dangers, provided that this is done according to a studied plan.

The members of the educational family have had an effective role in developing national awareness and its leaders, and they have always been
at the forefront of sincere workers to achieve what our nation aspires to in its bitter struggle against imperialism
and Zionism. The forces of injustice and aggression were and still are harboring hostility and plotting intrigues and conspiracies
against our peaceful people in the regions of beloved Palestine, and despite the gains achieved for its protégé, Israel—
the recent events have only increased the Arab people's firmness, strength, and jihad to achieve victory in
this fateful battle with the countries of colonialism and global Zionism to restore our usurped right
in the Holy Land. As we convey to you above a copy of the letter from the General Directorate of Technical Affairs / Directorate of
Curricula and Books, number 13436 on 11/25/1967, we have firm hope and full confidence that you—
will utilize every occasion to explain our national cause to the new generation and instill the concepts of revolutionary liberation in
their souls and make them feel their heroic role and the responsibilities incumbent upon them as citizens to confront and face
these dangers to which our glorious nation and our precious homeland are exposed.
