1- It includes all workers in the school regardless of their job. Conversely, any teacher or employee who does not work in
the school, such as being assigned to work in the Directorate or another school, their name is not included in the aforementioned form.
2- If the school includes a kindergarten and elementary level and is managed by one principal, the form should be sent to us
containing information for both the kindergarten and elementary together. Not to send two forms, one for the elementary
and another for the kindergarten.
3- The nominal salary is written merged with the cost of living allowance without any deduction of any kind, and it is taken from the payroll
list.
4- If the teacher works in more than one school, such as completing their quota in another school, their salary is divided according to
the proportion of their work in each school proportionately with the number of classes they perform. Consequently, each school writes its
respective information about them, not that the full salary is written in their original school and their salary is written in the second school's form
resulting in repetition.
5- If classes in the school are distributed according to the weekly class schedule and the teacher's classes are less than the quota,
the number of classes is listed in the field for those with a full quota, except for reserves; the word "reserve" is marked in the field for those with an incomplete quota next to their name.
6- What is meant by age in years is to write, for example, 21 - 22 - 34 - 50 and so on, and not the date of birth.
7- If the teacher holds two or more degrees, only the numerical sequence representing the highest degree is written.
8- Evening elementary schools are also responsible for entering information, and the name of the teacher on the permanent
staff is recorded as well as the lecturer's name; in the salary field, the average of their lecture fees is written in Dinars.
9- The school principal must deliver the form to the Statistics Division personally to identify deficiencies and complete them
in their presence, or deliver it to the competent employee to ensure it is complete to avoid sending it incomplete and returning it again
which causes delay and damage to forms, and consequently wasting the effort exerted. Thank you.

Further to our letter No. 58881 dated 23 / 11 / 1967, we record for you some clarifications regarding form
Statistics No. (9). Please note the following points /
1 - It includes all employees in the school regardless of their work; conversely, every teacher, administrative employee, or servant
who does not work in the school, such as being assigned to any other entity, his name is not listed in the mentioned form.
2 - Age refers to the number of years the person has lived, for example 34 - 48 - 51 - and so on, and not the year
of birth. Similarly for the length of service, it is written as 3 - 5 - 14 - 25, and those recently appointed (this year)
their service is considered one year.
3 - The nominal salary is written merged with the cost of living allowance without any deduction of any kind, and this is taken from the payroll
list.
4 - If lessons were distributed according to the schedule and the teacher's lessons are less than the quota, the number of lessons is listed in the field
for those with full quotas, except for substitutes, where the word "substitute" is marked in the field for those with incomplete quotas in front of his name.
5 - Private day and evening secondary schools are also responsible for entering information, and the teacher's name on
the permanent staff is recorded as well as the lecturer's name. In the salary field, the average amount received for lecture fees is written, estimated
in Dinars, and the same applies to administrative employees and servants. As for the number of lectures, it is written in the field for those with -
incomplete quotas.
6 - The school principal must hand over the forms to the Statistics Department himself or send his assistant to identify deficiencies and complete them
