Often, a number of male and female teachers visit the Ministry's office to follow up on their personal transactions
or submit petitions without us having reviewed them, in a way that disrupts the workflow and hinders the completion

Ministry is fully dedicated to completing transactions as quickly as possible and in the best manner. Therefore, any
request submitted by a male or female teacher in person will be rejected unless it is through your directorate, which
should provide its official opinion and whatever information it has regarding the subject requested by the teacher.
We request that all teaching bodies in all provinces be notified of the content of this letter of ours and prevented from visiting us in
