Copy of the Letter
This Ministry has noticed that there is a complaint — which has found its way to some local newspapers — regarding the continued
association of the professor and teacher with their school until (6/30), considering that their work has ended with the completion of the
teaching process and the announcement of student results. Since the subject of the complaint requires clarification, and since our plan of action is
to pay attention to every grievance issued by our brothers, the members of the educational family, we state the following: —
The purpose of the secondary and primary school system's ruling regarding the continued association of the professor or teacher with their school
until (6/30), and the legislator's wisdom behind that, is to be prepared to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to them
related to the general examinations (Baccalaureate), such as proctoring and grading booklets, while the teaching staff of each
school at various levels devotes itself to studying the school's problems during the past academic year and preparing a report on
the progress of the educational process, the obstacles hindering its development, and what the teaching staff's suggestions are
regarding educational problems in light of the prevailing conditions, and what the positive plans
and work requirements for the next academic year are, and what the teaching staff's expectations are regarding the number of
students expected to be admitted, the adequacy of the school staff, the capacity of the building, and how to address shortages in furniture and laboratories
and other matters related to the school atmosphere.
From this, it is clear that the association of the professor and teacher with their school until the beginning of the summer vacation was not
a formal association or a boring void with no work in it, but rather it was intended to achieve basic educational purposes that have their importance in
the process of preparation and organization. Since we cherish and value the high competencies of those with educational opinion and thought
among the members of the teaching staffs, and in order to benefit from their experiences and expertise, it has been decided to invite them to
fruitful work and to implement what was mentioned above as a duty, an assignment, and participation in the educational planning process
and a fulfillment of job duties dictated by a sense of responsibility and good citizenship ⟦line⟧
We hope to communicate this circular of ours to all school administrations and teaching staffs to put it into effect,
taking into account the following: —
1- The council of professors or teachers for each school shall meet in the form of an educational conference chaired by the school principal
to study the issues alluded to above.
2- Organizing a detailed report on the educational recommendations adopted by the conference in three copies signed by
the conferees; the school keeps one copy, the second copy is sent to the Directorate of Education, and the
third copy to the Directorate of General Cultural Relations / Information Directorate.
3- The Directorate of Education shall study the recommendations received from the teaching staffs, coordinate them, and organize
a report on the most important issues discussed, the topics presented for discussion, what the recommendations received regarding them were,
the opinion of the Directorate of Education on the proposed solutions, the difficulties hindering the ways of their implementation, and the type of assistance
required to overcome them. . .

Subject / Our Mission and Duty
This Directorate has noticed – with deep regret – that there is a phenomenon, neither desirable nor acceptable, which is about
to encompass all those concerned, including female and male primary teachers and female and male secondary teachers. That is the phenomenon of
evading some responsibilities and resorting to mediation and intermediaries, and tasking others with following up on
their transactions and relying on them in an attempt to achieve certain desires they want or to get rid of
duties.
As we draw attention to this phenomenon, we hope for cooperation from everyone to put an end to this, as it causes
exhaustion and embarrassment for the employees of this Directorate first, in addition to being far from the public interest
and the integrity of the educational process, and conflicting with the sacred mission of the teacher.
The only method we call for is to submit written requests according to the proper procedures and through
the specialized authority, emphasizing that these requests are always subject to the attention of all employees
and that the decision to fulfill them is determined by the public interest, regulations, instructions, and available possibilities for that.
Furthermore, this office does not look at any case or request except in light of the abstract reality without differentiation
between one case and another, and we do not give preference to this or that under any influence other than what was mentioned above. We also hope
from our female and male colleagues to adhere to what the Directorate has decided, which is to limit review hours at the Directorate
to after eleven o'clock and when the review is necessary. We also hope for a cessation of visits to employees
so that the employees in the office are given the opportunity to devote themselves to their duties quietly and dedicate themselves
to deciding on their work with deliberation.
We hope everyone will adhere to what is stated above, in addition to what we hope from them in terms of commitment to
systems and instructions in order to achieve the best and finest results in our honorable field of work.
Finally, we hope that all members of the teaching staff will be informed of this, with our sincere congratulations to them on the occasion
of the end of the school year, praying to the Almighty that we meet in the new year with the determination and sincerity that
we hope for.

(Copy of the letter from the Directorate of General Technical Affairs / Directorate of Curricula and Books)
In support of the prescribed curricula and to increase guidance on our major cause, the cause of Palestine, in addition
to what those curricula contained at their various educational levels, the Ministry of Education has mobilized
its energies for a long time until today and has exerted great efforts in order to keep pace with the national and pan-Arab awareness
among our student children regarding the events of our Arab nation and to introduce them to the dimensions of the Arab world's issues in all their aspects
and to make them feel their national and pan-Arab responsibilities towards them so that they are at the level of the battle of destiny.
Among those measures is the issuance of the book, "The Palestinian Cause," to be used in guiding students
in our schools and to be an aid to them in understanding the historical, social, and political facts of the Palestine issue. The
Ministry will work on issuing another more comprehensive and detailed one covering recent events from their various aspects
contributing effectively - along with what other ministries are doing - in explaining the Palestinian cause and exposing the goals
of the right of our Arab people to their usurped land and their holy country in their souls and drawing them to the epic
of the Arab struggle against Zionism and colonialism.

Some school administrations have begun collecting donations from students under the pretext of spending them on
organizing parties, sports activities, and so on. Since school administrations already collect from students
the donations stipulated in the school activity instructions annually, we find no necessity
in collecting such donations that cause a burden on the students. Therefore, please circulate this
to the school administrations under your jurisdiction and do not allow them to collect such donations.

⟦illegible⟧
17/4/1968
The General Directorate of Technical Affairs / Curricula and Books Directorate informed us in its letter No. 3206
dated 1/4/1968 that it intends to develop basic books for teaching Arabic reading and writing
to be taught in the first and second grades of primary school. The Ministry of Education wishes to provide
the opportunity for specialists, experienced people, and teachers to contribute to this vital field. Therefore,
it announces a competition for authoring the following books within (eight months) from the above date, in accordance with the conditions
and specifications set out below. The winners of this competition will be granted the prescribed fees for authoring
school textbooks:
1- Reading book for the first grade of primary school, within (120) pages
2- Reading book for the second grade of primary school, within (150) pages
3- Teacher's guide book for teaching the first-grade primary reading book, within (100)
pages
4- Teacher's guide book for teaching the second-grade primary reading book, within (100)
pages
Conditions
1- It is preferred that more than one author participates in authoring these books.
2- The two reading books are to be authored according to the global method (a mix of global styles: word, sentence, story)
which starts with perceiving whole units and focuses on meaning from the beginning, then proceeds to analyze these units
into their parts, so pupils are trained to recognize their elements such as sentences and words in an organized manner, then
they recognize the shapes of letters and their connection to the ways they are used. After that, pupils are trained
to use the skills they acquire in recognizing new words.
3- It is not required for the first-grade primary reading book to address all reading and writing skills,
as some difficult skills can be taught in the second-grade book according to the learners' needs
and level.
4- The first-grade reading book may rely on the application of the foundations of the global method - the phonetic
sequence style - or it may not.
5- Each lesson shall have a specific subject unit or the subject unit shall be integrated into a group of sequential
lessons.
6- A well-defined plan shall be developed for the two reading books, dealing with defining the skills that the child should acquire
after studying the first book. Also, the skills that the child must acquire after studying
the second book, provided that the authors of the two books aim to achieve the following goals:
In the first-grade book
A- Recognizing the words and sentences taught in this grade, pronouncing them correctly,
and understanding their meanings, provided that the total vocabulary presented in the book does not exceed (300) words.
B- Recognizing the forms of the alphabet letters in both their separate and connected forms and in various cases
and positions.
C- Recognizing the diacritics and their sounds.
D- Acquiring the skill in pronouncing letters from their points of articulation correctly.
E- Acquiring the ability to read easy new words and sentences at the end of the year.
F- Acquiring the ability to understand and appreciate what is read.
G- Acquiring the ability to imitate the writing of words and sentences previously recognized and to perform
the writing of some simple words from memory.
To be continued -
- 2 -
In the second grade book:
A - The ability to read some topics and short stories stemming from the student's environment and experiences, and consistent
with his interests and needs.
B - Gradual acquisition of skills in silent reading with comprehension.
C - The ability to listen with comprehension.
D - Increasing the student's interest in reading and his inclination towards it.
E - The ability to simulate writing words and sentences correctly in terms of spelling, as well as
writing some easy words and sentences from memory.
F - Gradual development of handwriting skills in terms of drawing letters and placing the necessary dots in the
appropriate positions, observing the leaving of spaces between letters and words, and getting used to connecting letters together
correctly while maintaining the straightness of lines and margins.
7 /
A - The guide book for the first grade reading book should contain brief information on the characteristics of
children's growth in mental, physical, emotional, and social aspects related to reading
and writing skills at this stage, and explain the foundations upon which the book was based, provided that
this book explains the specific features of the global method and the principles of teaching reading and writing according to it.
The book should also focus on providing exercises for training on analyzing sentences into words,
and analyzing these words into letter shapes and sounds, and training on the use of these elements
in identifying and constructing new simple words not mentioned in the reading book, and introducing the sounds of vowels
and their symbols.
B - The authors of the two guide books should generally aim to present facts and instructions in an
objective manner that teachers can benefit from in teaching directly, and provide adequate recommendations
on how to teach the basic lessons in each of the reading books, especially the lessons which
are intended to train students on specific skills, provided that the exercises specific to these
lessons are included with an explanation of the steps for teaching these exercises and methods of preparing and presenting them to students,
and referring to the educational aids that can be used. These exercises should be clarified
on the basis of a studied plan in which the types of necessary skills and training methods
are taken into account in a gradual manner.
