call, or personal contact.
To request films, filmstrips, and screening requests, call the following number 99927
For other services, call 98612
Conditions required for approval of material production:
The illustrative materials requested for production should be characterized by their educational value
to benefit a large number of teachers, instructors, or other persons.
This requires special capabilities that only the center is able to perform for such
a task.
If you wish to produce materials or other services, always remember that production needs
time, so you should allocate sufficient time for your request before the specified date.
The production curriculum at the center is narrow, and undertaking any production or service should
enter the curriculum; therefore, you must submit your requests in advance.
The center's employees do not receive additional wages for their services, but the center charges
the costs of the materials consumed in the work.

Photography Department

The materials sent to request the production
of silk-screen printed posters should reach
the Center from schools or cultural
institutions. Approval for their production is contingent
upon such materials being of
educational importance and being used on a large
scale by a large number of teachers
and instructors.
In all requests for printing
materials or any other work concerning other
departments of the Center, they should be submitted well in advance
of the date they are needed. It is clear that
arrangement, design, engraving of texts,
images, and transferring images requires a
long time for each task.

local character for use in various
aspects of the curricula.
⟦Four photographs on the left depicting film production and editing⟧

Film Production Department
Educational films provide teachers with the opportunity to:
Remove the boundaries of time and space by returning to the past and delving into history, or by
taking a comprehensive visit to any place in the world and returning in a period not exceeding minutes.
Display various developments and activities that cannot be seen in any other way.
Prepare the field for comprehensive and interesting experiences for students which cannot be provided by any
other means.
Substantially increase the speed of learning.
Likewise, they increase the capacity for memory and help students remember for a longer period and recall
materials more easily.

The television curricula prepared for use during classroom sessions are
ready now. They include curricula in science, art, arithmetic, language, arts,
and biology for primary, elementary, and secondary schools.
We invite schools to draw the center's attention to plays, programs,
and other activities they have prepared that contain sufficient interest and
educational value to make them suitable for television. From time to time we will ask schools
to participate in television activities related to school relations and competitions.
⟦Illustration of a television set and a classroom scene⟧
Educational Television Department
Television is considered one of the most influential means of social communication
which has had no equal before. Exploiting this influence for
educational and instructional purposes is the goal aimed at by the Educational Television Department.
To achieve such tasks, the Educational Television Department prepares curricula
to be presented during classroom activities in school, as well as providing curricula with
educational values in the afternoons and evenings. Added to that is the preparation of other curricula in which
professors, teachers, and students participate along with school activities.

Introduction
This booklet is intended to be a means of introducing all teachers
to the services and materials available at the Audio-Visual Center to help the teacher perform
their mission. This booklet - as a start - will be limited to listing services
and materials. If the teacher finds that some of the services and materials they need to enable
their students to learn more, faster, and remember for longer are not listed,
we would be happy if they requested information regarding this matter.
The Audio-Visual Center is a directorate related to the Ministry of Education. It was established
after the Ministry felt its need for services and materials that could be prepared for cultural
guidance in Iraq. Thus, your request for audio-visual services and materials
for use in classrooms is to achieve the cultural purposes for which the center was established.
We only ask to be given the appropriate opportunity to help you improve the educational
conditions for your students.
We welcome any visit you make to the center. There is no doubt that such a visit will help you
directly in your selection of the available illustrative materials for your use, and will also help you
know our services to you or the services you need. Requests for production
can always be expedited through contact and personal deliberations with the center's staff.
But whatever your request may be, contact us via correspondence, telephone,
or by visiting the center's departments and workshops at the Audio-Visual
Center.
