TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
This is to certify that Yvette Menashi Kashi who attended this School for the last two years, sat successfully in June 1955, the Iraq State Baccalaureate Examination for Primary Education. This examination is equivalent roughly to the Common Entrance Examination of the English Secondary School.
During the past academic year, October 1956- June 1957, Yvette Kashi attended the First Intermediate year of this School (which is equivalent roughly to grade 8 of the American School) and was promoted to the 2nd Intermediate year. She left this School after attending the 2nd Intermediate year for a few days at the beginning of the present scholastic year.
To give an idea of her present academic standard, Yvette Kashi will have to do a minimum of three more years' work, before she can hope to sit successfully the London University G.C.E. Examinations at the ordinary level, and another extra year to reach the standard of the Iraq State Baccalaureate Examinations for Secondary Education.
While in my School Yvette Kashi's conduct was always very good. She is supplied with this certificate at her own request.
