in the colleges and institutes.
11 - The affiliation form must be free of any crossing out or erasure, even if signed, so care must be taken when filling out the form
and ensuring the accuracy of the information before recording it. (In cases of extreme necessity, the damaged form may be replaced with another

and present his examination identity (i.e., the student's participation card in the baccalaureate exam) to the secretary of the medical committee,
provided that the identity is stamped with the seal of the examination center after completing the medical examination. It is possible to substitute
the participation card in the general exams, which is considered the student's identity for the purpose of the examination (in case of its loss),
with a letter of support from his school confirming that he is a participant in the general exams for preparatory study, provided that
the student's photo is fixed on this support letter.

Some preparatory school principals contacted us inquiring about how to calculate the student's status
in subjects with groups (such as algebra and trigonometry) and (physics and mathematics), for example,
if he failed a subject from the group and postponed the other subject of the same group with a medical report, such as
taking the exam in algebra and postponing the trigonometry, for example.
We would like to clarify that in such a case, the student is not entitled to take the exam in the second
attempt for the subject he failed, but rather only in the subject he postponed from that
group. We request you to alert the students who are affected by such cases. With thanks.

for the sixth preparatory grade.

Text of the third paragraph
⟦line⟧
Third - Physics curriculum for the sixth scientific grade:
The council was presented with the letter of the General Education Inspectorate No. 769 dated 20 / 9 / 1971 and its attached memorandum
No. 81 dated 12 / 2 / 1972, which includes the recommendations made at the meeting held by
physics inspectors and teachers on 10 / 2 / 1972 to consider the physics curriculum for the sixth preparatory grade in
light of the notes received by the competent authorities regarding the difficulty of teaching the completion of the course and finishing the curriculum during
the academic year. The meeting included three specialist inspectors in physics and eleven male and female teachers of the same subject
in preparatory schools in Baghdad.
The attendees unanimously agreed that the physics book for the sixth scientific grade currently prescribed contains topics that are not
possible to teach and fully comprehend in a concise manner during the current academic year, and they suggested omitting the following items
and materials from the book and not teaching them: -
1- From item 4 p. 211 to the end of item 8 p. 213 of Chapter Six (second edition), noting that omitting
these items does not affect the student's scientific level because they study them in the subject of chemistry.
2- Specific resistance in the English system p. 244 because this system has been abandoned globally.
3- From item 8 p. 269 to the end of item 13 p. 281 with all related questions because the student studies them
in the subject of chemistry during the same stage.
4- Chapter Ten is omitted due to its reliance on some facts that the student has not previously studied in previous academic stages,
which makes his comprehension of this chapter extremely difficult.
5- From Chapter Eleven, item 9 p. 406 (Properties of the Triode Valve) is omitted, as well as items 11, 12, and 13 up to
p. 412 and related questions because they are related to Chapter Ten.
They also decided on another meeting to study the physics curriculum in the long term. After discussing what was stated in the memorandum
and reviewing a copy of the prescribed book under research, the Council decided: -
Approval of what was stated in the memorandum and deletion of the materials and items mentioned therein from the curriculum and not teaching them.
