We have noticed that some schools are being strict with male and female students and depriving a large number of them from participating in general examinations
to obtain a high success rate, whereas the efforts of the male and female teacher only appear in relation to the original number
of students in the class applying for the exams. Therefore, we will take into consideration - in the future - the number of class students before their submission
to general examinations, and accordingly, reward the diligent and hold those negligent in duty accountable. Therefore, please circulate to
all schools belonging to you regarding this matter.

In view of the fact that the ages of students in primary, intermediate, and secondary schools are not suitable for representing Iraq
abroad in a proper manner, and furthermore, that at such an age they are in greater need of learning about their environment and society in
various regions of Iraq, it has been decided to suspend student trips in primary, intermediate, and secondary schools for girls and boys
(including private and foreign schools) outside of Iraq, and to limit student trips in these schools
to Iraqi cities and regions in the future, provided that what was stated in our letter numbered
Sh - 1 / 11 / 7541 and dated 27 / 2 / 952 regarding informing us of these trips at least one month

- Copy of the letter -
Violations recur from time to time by the administrations of private schools of various levels and types, resulting from
Failure to follow the regulations in force regarding the dates of mid-year and final exams. We request that all private schools be obligated
To follow the regulations and apply them literally. We will not tolerate any school that advances or delays its exam dates
Regardless of the excuses, as unifying exam dates is something this department is extremely keen on in implementation of Ministry of Education regulations.
As for some schools that are unable to conduct exams regularly in a quiet atmosphere due to the large number of examinees
And the narrowness of their classrooms, we believe it is necessary to resort to conducting exams for different classes at close intervals to allow
Distributing students across the largest number of desks to achieve the intended benefit.

that occur in their schools to the education doctors, which has caused the spread of diseases among male and female students.
As neglecting this duty exposes the person responsible for school administration to the penalties stipulated

To -
Administrations of all private schools associated with this Directorate
It has appeared to us from the reports of the specialized inspectors that some private secondary schools have conducted the current mid-year exams
at a time other than that stipulated in the Secondary School Regulations. Since this Directorate has previously emphasized to all
private schools to conduct mid-year exams on the date set for official schools, and that it is absolutely not permissible
for any private school to advance or delay these exams before obtaining the approval of the Ministry of Education. Therefore, we emphasize for the last time
the necessity of keeping pace with official schools and following them in the scheduled exam dates and the necessity of refraining in the future from conducting them at other
times before obtaining official approval, as this is considered an explicit violation of the aforementioned regulations, noting that we -
will be forced, when necessary, to direct legal penalties to violating schools, and we will also record these violations against
the mentioned schools in order to present them to the General Directorate at the end of each school year to be taken into consideration when distributing financial
grants.

this matter, we hope you will not mind us addressing you and will help
us in you effort to unite to geographically separated nations.
We have a very powerful information Services of the British and the
americans in East Pakistan but Unfortunately we have none of any Islamic
state. This very cause led us to make an effort toobtain relationship
with your state and other Islamic States. We therefore have formed a
Club of our own -- The Young Pakistanis' Information Services-- with an
aim to bring our members in touch with the students of other Islamic
countries and we have every reason to believe that we shall receive
whole-hearted co-operation from you.
the members of our Club are all students, varying from school-children

We inform you that the mid-year exams at Frank Iny Primary and Intermediate School
will be held in the week starting on 3/2/1952.
The reason for the delay in the date of these exams compared to public schools is due to the delay
of the community leadership in opening its schools at the beginning of the school year, due to the holidays occurring at that time.
We request your respected directorate's approval of this measure.
