At present the above candidate is attending the Fifth Form of
Shamash Secondary School and is doing extremely well. In June 1961
he will be sitting for the Iraq State Baccalaureate Examination for
Secondary Education, Scientific Section. To judge by his Secondary
School record, he should be able to pass this examination with
distinction in due course. He will then be eligible for entry into
any higher institute of University standard in Iraq.
S.G. Shina is physically and mentally quite fit. I recommend
him for admission to any University abroad as an excellent candidate.
