Copy of the Memorandum
I have found some Arabic language teachers in secondary schools neglecting the teaching of prescribed books in grammar,
meanings, and rhetoric, despite their availability and presence in the hands of the students. They prefer books by their colleagues that are
not prescribed, so they dictate them to the students.
It is clear that in this action there are two violations. A violation of what they were forbidden from, which is dictation while books are available,
and a violation of the books they were ordered to teach. And relying on books that the Ministry of Education has not authorized for entry
into its schools or teaching with them.
So I hope that you will issue an order regarding the necessity of deviating from this path immediately and that you task the school principals with monitoring
what the teachers do before their ears and eyes and preventing them from any violation of the Ministry's orders. And the inspection
is unable to encompass every hour throughout the length and breadth of the country unless the school administrations cooperate with it in
limiting violations.

Reference to its letter referred to above
Assistantship of this directorate
Department Accounting - to observe what concerns the subject of optional donations.
Personnel - Private Education - regarding lectures by male and female teachers.
Copy of the letter
We have noticed that most of the teaching staffs have, in recent years, turned away from their professional duties related to preparing the lesson
and selecting it in the ideal form from its various sources, and from following up on students' written work and supervising their study
and diligence, and from participating effectively in school activities to the acceptable extent emphasized by the curricula.
Guiding students toward fruitful work in order to broaden their horizons requires full dedication and prior preparation for lesson
plans, and this aversion encountered by schools from most of their teachers is not acceptable in any case.
Therefore, because of the above, schools have become weak in their impact on the student's life, and the inability of most of them to create an atmosphere
that inspires their blossoming desire to receive all forms of knowledge and its related physical and mental activity has become clear. This is in addition
to what improvisation in delivering lessons has led to in terms of decline in academic levels, such that a mass of students failed to obtain
high averages in general examinations.
We have decided, based on the above—and as we are at the beginning of the new school year—to call attention to the necessity of rescuing
schools from a state of anxiety to a state of stability by setting the following general recommendations, which are required to be acted upon and any
other rules that the school body deems to achieve all the scientific purposes we seek for our schools:
1 - It is not permissible for the director and teacher to accept any lectures or work in a private or foreign school except after taking the opinion of this
Ministry and obtaining its written approval.
2 - The maximum amount a teacher can take in terms of lectures must not exceed seven lectures under any circumstances, and the
Director will be held accountable for any breach of this rule.
