In view of the transfer of the (Central Notification Department in Baghdad) from its previous location in (the Civil Courts
building to the (Presidency of Public Execution) building located in the Orfali neighborhood in Bab al-Sharqi, and that
it will begin its work on the morning of Tuesday, 22 / 7 / 1958.
Please announce this to all ministries and their affiliated departments in the newspapers and radio.
Copy of the letter
It has been noted that some ministries have started sending their communications in the name of (Commander of the Military Forces for Martial Law Administration)
while there is no position or title by this name, but rather two new positions after the Revolution was announced
on 14 July 1958, namely (Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces) and the Military Governor General, as the specialization
of each of them differs from the other. Since it is preferable for regular official communications to remain addressed to
(Ministry of Defense), the Prime Minister has directed that I request you and the directorates affiliated with your ministry to follow the
usual method and send all communications in the name of the Ministry of Defense except for matters within the jurisdiction of
(the Military Governor General) and limited to those related to martial law administration to avoid the discrepancy created by such communications.

those who meet the statutory conditions instead of the aforementioned person as quickly as possible.
3 The task of the aforementioned person is limited to teaching language and Armenian language until further notice
⟦...⟧ and not to accept any correspondence or document submitted with his signature.
4 We do not approve the appointment of Ms. Matilda Moussa as a teacher in the school under
discussion.
5 It has become clear to us from the inspection reports submitted regarding this school that the aforementioned teacher
was listed in the staff registry and that she has actually been practicing teaching there for some time until this date
without obtaining any official approval. Something for which we do not know how to justify the motive
behind the school administration's request to appoint her as stated in your letter No. 7552 dated
30 / 3 / 1958 referred to above if such is the case. Other than disregard for the regulations
and instructions issued in this regard.
6 Based on the above and based on the text of paragraph (d) of Article 8 of the
Private and Foreign Schools Regulation No. 7 of / 1954, it has been decided as follows -
⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ from teaching in all private schools
and foreign schools affiliated with you for one academic year.

Directing a warning to Mr. Narsi Sartouma, the principal of the school, and drawing his attention
severely, as well as the attention of those responsible for it, that if a violation
such as this is repeated in the future, the necessary legal measures will be taken to close
the school for a period of one academic year in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of the system
mentioned above.
Please take what is necessary in light of what is stated above and inform us.

Copy of the Letter
To all Directors of Education of the Provinces
Please circulate the following to the private schools in your province, as well as to the teachers who
teach in private schools.
This Ministry has noticed a clear discrepancy between the grades given by
teachers in private schools and the grades these students obtain in the final
examinations in public schools. There is also a clear discrepancy between the grades of these teachers
in public schools and their grades in private schools. This Ministry is currently studying
the reports of these schools for the past academic year and will take the necessary measures against those who fall short.
However, we wish to emphasize the necessity of treating private school students the same as public school students,
especially since the task of graduating students from intermediate schools has become entrusted to the schools without any distinction,
whether in teaching, grade estimation, or the standards of examination papers. This Ministry
will take all necessary measures to safeguard this and will not hesitate to impose punishment on those who fall short,
in addition to depriving them of the right to teach in private schools. We also request the administrations of private
schools to monitor this, as they are primarily responsible for ensuring academic standards and the accuracy of
testing and examination procedures. The Ministry will not hesitate to apply the measures authorized by the General
Education Law. We call upon everyone to cooperate and stand together to make private schools
capable of performing the services expected of them as a pillar of the cultural renaissance in the country.

I have noticed that most of the principals of the schools I visited do not give importance to these records despite
the circulars issued in this regard, therefore I emphasized to them to observe the following points in these
records, please support me with emphasis, especially since these records are considered the primary reference for the student
after their graduation.
1- Writing information regarding the student in all fields of the page allocated to them, especially
regarding the transfer and its reason.
2- Emphasizing the presence of the student's photo in the record, stamped with the school stamp and signed with the signature of
the principal.
3- Numbering the pages of the record with sequential numbers since the school's establishment.
4- Making an index of numbers and names of students for each record at its beginning.
5- Recording final exam grades for each student and stating their result.
6- Paying attention to the fields regarding the student's personal, health, and social conditions.
