- Copy of the Hilla Education letter -
The following points mentioned in the instructions for organizing school documents for secondary school
students were ambiguous; we request you to kindly clarify them as quickly as possible.
1 - It was not mentioned in the instructions whether the documents provided to secondary schools
are used for all purposes?
2 - If they are used for all purposes, are they used for recruitment as well? And if used
for recruitment, they are devoid of the student's birth date field; where should it be placed? And is there a need to list
the student's grades in the document granted for recruitment?
3 - If it happens that a student is transferred during the school year and the time of transfer is at a time
that requires mentioning the grade averages obtained by the student from the first half average or
the second half, mid-year, annual average, or all of them, where are these averages recorded
as there is no special field for them in the document? Should they be sent in an official letter attached to the document or written on
the back of the document in the grades field by ⟦making⟧ a change to it? Please clarify that.
4 - If the student provided with the document is in the fifth or third grade, is there a need
to list all his grades from the first grade until the grade he reached, or is it sufficient to list
the grades he achieved in the grade from which he passed.

Subject -- Instructions
We have noticed that some schools have not adhered to the instructions regarding the organization of transfer documents and forms,

paper must be of large size.
2- The photograph shall be attached with glue, and the use of pins or staples is absolutely prohibited.

scholarship student at the government's expense. It is permissible to mention the grades of the last General Examination (Baccalaureate) in which
the student failed. However, if the student failed the school examination, it is not permissible to record his school
