The Directorate of Transport and Traffic Police has taken strict measures regarding facilitating the crossing of male and female students
in the crowded streets of the city of Baghdad and has distributed its members at crossing points.
However, we wish for all the school teachers and their bright students to cooperate in this task,
by each of them forming a group of students and supervising the process of facilitating their crossing of the streets
to preserve their lives as much as possible.
Therefore, we request all school administrations to instruct their male and female teachers

The investment of (spare time) in schools in a wise educational manner has a great impact on enhancing the cultivation,
discipline, and guidance of the dear youth. For the male and female students whose fields of activity, behavior,
actions, and personal ideology are defined by classrooms, curricula, and the barriers of desks and prescribed books
which lead to boredom and weariness if left in their rigidity; they must have free and wide spaces to express
their feelings, inclinations, and the flickers of their hearts and souls, and to vent the thoughts that occur to them and the
proposals, opinions, and projects they envision to bring into the realm of action and application in a free, healthy atmosphere dominated by joy
and happiness in work and activity, cooperating with the rest of their brothers, colleagues, and peers, and guided by the opinions
and recommendations of their teachers, instructors, and mentors by resorting to them when necessary. The best opportunity to satisfy their desires
and hobbies and to release freedom for their creativity and production, and to provide them with experiences and skills they need
in their lives in school and outside it in the environment of the family and society and in the struggle of life is (spare
time) that is available during the week on the afternoons of every Monday and Thursday, every afternoon of
the school days, and on holidays including Fridays, and at noon every day in rural and country schools
with single-shift schedules. This important educational aspect (the use of spare time) for the benefit of
the male and female students to rectify their cultures and expand the horizons of their work, thinking, and activity within the limits of their personal
individual and collective efforts and impulses, and to form their integrated social personalities, has unfortunately not received
more than slight attention in some schools, and it is generally limited to some temporary sports activities
on Monday afternoons for a specific group of students who engage in competitions under the guidance of the physical education teacher alone
and by himself.
Therefore, we call upon the directorates of education and school administrations, with the support of the teaching staffs
(all of them), to give this vital matter their utmost care, sponsorship, and attention, first by planning and designing
work units, committees, and projects suitable for the environment and originating from it; and second, by discussing and studying them
and presenting them to the students to choose what suits their abilities, inclinations, and readiness for work, each according to his desire.
(( Continued ))

Third / Distribution of male and female teachers as mentors and supervisors for these units, projects, and committees, provided that
they cover wide fields, including:
Committee for Oratory, Publishing, and Lectures
Committee for Sports, Games, Anthems, Music, and Scouting
Committee for Drawing, Art, Sculpture, and Carpentry
Committee for Gardens, Gardening, School Beautification, caring for it, and maintaining its supplies, furniture, and facilities on
the basis that they are public property.
A committee for sewing, embroidery, darning, home management, home economics, child-rearing, and raising the standard of the home -
socially and health-wise.
Committee for trips, tours, camps, studying the nature and geography of the environment, popularizing rural life, and raising its standard.
We also recommend visiting charitable institutions and encouraging students to provide aid to them.
A committee to visit village houses ⟦to enlighten them⟧ and make them understand what raises their standard health-wise, socially, and economically, and to encourage them
to follow modern methods in their home lives and methods of plowing, planting, and modern production
and selecting good seeds and irrigation methods, introducing products foreign to the environment, and eliminating obsolete methods.
A committee for poultry farming, introducing new breeds of animals and birds and seeking to acclimatize them, and for raising
silkworms, apiaries, drying fruits, and preparing milk, cheese... etc.
The field of service to the village and the countryside is wide before the village teachers, and free time is available, especially in schools
that follow a single-shift system. It is hoped that the school will be the source of emergence, radiance, guidance, and orientation
in this honorable Republican era, thus undertaking the task of leadership, guidance, and social, cultural,
health, and economic orientation, working hard to raise the level of the dear citizen in the environment in which it exists and moving
from its stagnation to a free life full of vigor and activity. The general directorates, governorates, and directorates
of education, agricultural and health circles, and rural and village revitalization centers have great capabilities to strengthen,
⟦consolidate⟧, and support the teaching staffs and students in their fields of work and activity during free time and outside
school walls, away from the restrictions of harsh regulations, books, and curricula, providing them with the money, supplies, tools,
and expertise they need. Activating this important educational phenomenon and adopting the idea of benefiting from (leisure time) according to
well-studied and mapped plans within broad and flexible frameworks has its good effects and results in freeing the teaching
staffs from states of stagnation, contraction, and atrophy by opening the field for the rising generation to work, produce, and innovate
in atmospheres, fields, and works that suit and meet their desires and passions in their souls and hearts, increasing their experience, practice, and culture,
and strengthening the results of brotherhood and the bonds of friendship between them and their brothers, colleagues, and fellow citizens. It leads to raising the level of
education, its prosperity, and its progress, making it worthy of attention, care, and appreciation. For this reason, we recommend that inspectors -
keep in mind the support and assistance of schools in their sincere efforts and struggles hoped for in this
field, wishing that their reports will ⟦come⟧ detailed regarding the extent of interest the project receives from schools, their staffs, and officials,
and the extent of success and achievement it attains.

Our blessed revolution arose to eliminate the corruption left by the defunct era, so it eliminated it
with a spirit of faith and adherence to virtue. Therefore, it calls upon the leadership of education to abide
by ministerial circular No. 5922 dated 2 / 6 / 956 regarding the appearance in which
many female students and some female teachers and instructors appear in terms of adornment, which is inconsistent with
the mission that requires proceeding according to the necessity of female students, female teachers, and instructors
possessing modesty and dignity in their appearance and adhering to correct religious manners. These matters
have been followed by many civilized nations that have directed their lives according to this upright path.
Furthermore, the necessity of this path does not only concern female students and female teachers, but also includes male students and teachers
and instructors as well. Therefore, I ask you to keep this goal before your eyes, and God is the Granter of
success.

We list below paragraphs 1 to 6 of the decision of the Council of Education taken at its twenty-ninth session
held on Thursday 6 / 11 / 58. Please act accordingly and circulate it to all schools affiliated
with you to act upon it.
Paragraphs
1 - Everyone who was considered successful in the third intermediate grade as a result of the exam or by decisions of the Council of Ministers has the right
to apply to secondary or vocational schools, and those schools must provide space to accept them in all their branches
according to their capabilities.
2 - Female and male students who failed but passed by decisions of the Council of Ministers in various grades and stages
of study have the right to remain in their previous grades if they ⟦wish⟧ to do so, and if they return to them, they lose all
privileges of those who passed, and what applies to their colleagues in their grades applies to them.
3 - Petitions of students with incomplete grades in the third intermediate classes for the year 54 / 55 and before were considered, and it was seen
that there is no objection to providing them the opportunity to enter school exams at their scheduled times and in the subjects
in which they failed. If they pass, the decision taken by the Council of Education at its
twenty-second session regarding the decisions issued by the Council of Ministers concerning the advancement of failing female
and male students to higher grades shall apply to them. Given that the pressure will be great on schools at various stages
and because this Ministry suffers from a shortage of teachers and the narrowness of ⟦...⟧ buildings and their inability to accommodate all students, and based
on what the public interest requires in terms of giving the opportunity to all students wishing to complete their studies,
the Council of Education has approved the following:
A - Making attendance double-shift in schools subject to this pressure.
B - Making the lessons five for each daily shift.
C - Making the duration of the lesson (40) minutes.
D - Deleting some hours from the regular schedule.
E - This decision will be implemented according to detailed instructions left to the General Directorate of Education. (( To be continued ))

stages of study.

Subject / Economic, Health, and Artistic Activities
In this era, the era of the Republic = the era of the Revolution =, the Directorate wishes to make life
schooling extensive with various creative arts capable of expression and creation, such as drawing, sculpture,
weaving, embroidery, organizing school gardens, spreading health culture, and developing taste.. because
in that is a field for creativity and escaping the shackles of slavery and tasting creative freedom so that -
students become free-willed and benefit from the flourishing culture witnessed by the engravings and decorations
that adorn our ancient monuments. We hope that the students' conscious activity will take the place of spontaneous evolution,
and that a violent revolution in school activity will take the place of peaceful development, and revolution in extra-curricular
activities will take the place of gradual development. We want a jumping social awareness; we want social life to interact
with the Republican era, with our beloved revolution. So make room for the formation of a society
that tastes the fine arts and provides for many tired souls that which entertains them from the toil of work. For art is
nothing but a bringer of joy to souls and it sends forth cheer and harmony. Below are the most important recommendations
which we hope will be acted upon according to school capabilities.
