Industrial Education in Iraq
Report by the Director of Industrial Education at the Ministry of Education
Dr. Ali Al-Safi, Director of Industrial Education at the Ministry of Education, submitted a detailed report including
his suggestions on industrial education in Iraq. He prefaced it by stating that this type of education faces
one of the most important problems concerning Iraq's economic and social life, necessitating special education
and stable vocational guidance for the new generation to enable it to meet the country's needs and make it in its
productive economic movement self-reliant and based on the efforts of its children, without resorting to the use of foreign labor
who, even if they are sincere in their work, cost the country huge sums that increase production costs and affect
thereby opening the door for competition from foreign goods and ultimately leading to the frustration of the country's
economic productive projects. He believes that preparing the working generation is not easy in a country like Iraq,
which must take a long leap over the stage of technical industrial development that Western countries have gone through, and which in its modern form
took more than two centuries, and that the study of industrial education should be based on the current economic conditions
and the future needs of the country and the expected development. He believes that when Iraq studies this problem, it should not be limited to the aspect of
industrial education only, but rather it must address the issue of vocational education in general and the necessity of educational guidance
towards practical work, industrial, manual, and technical professions.
As for the suggestions in the report, they covered the field of work and areas of need, which appear clearly
in the modern factories existing in Iraq and some institutions that rely on machinery in their work.
He believes that there are many simple industries that can be established in the country just by providing
skilled labor, and all these facilities are not capable of annually absorbing an army of workers,
only trained technicians, but they are now in urgent need of them to operate machinery.
The report discusses the preparation of skilled workers, and given the country's lack of sufficient factories, he suggests
compensating for this by establishing industrial schools and setting up at least five such schools and opening industrial
training courses organized by the Ministry of Education, to be evening classes for training workers.
Dr. Al-Safi advises preparing young workers to meet annual needs and what development
and growth require. As for preparing work for technical workers, this requires directing special attention, even by compelling companies
and factories to employ and benefit from them. He calls for the establishment of a secondary industrial school to prepare practical engineers
and draws attention to the necessity of preparing teaching and training staff and addresses the issue of salaries for specialist technicians
and granting them additional allowances. He sees an urgent necessity to form a permanent committee for industrial education with
another committee to establish a fixed curriculum for industrial schools.
Dr. Safi concludes his report with a discussion on the funding for establishing industrial schools and the participation of some companies, such as oil companies,
in the expenses of these institutions.

The Official Industrial School in Baghdad
Report of the Director of Industrial Education for its Reform
⟦line⟧
Dr. Ali al-Safi, Director of Industrial Education at the Ministry of Education, submitted a detailed report to His Excellency the Minister
of Education regarding the reform of the Official Industrial School in Baghdad. He mentioned that more than twenty years have passed
since the founding of this institution, yet in its current state, it does not show that it has benefited much from this time
in its progress. The industrial education, which was represented solely by this school throughout this period, was not proceeding
according to a specific plan, and assigning its management to non-specialists has had a profound impact on the deficiencies that have plagued this school.
Dr. Al-Safi suggests establishing a special system for industrial schools that guarantees their independence from other schools
which differ from them in purpose and teaching methods, and ensures that the management is linked to a stable system that it follows in
its administration. He also suggests that the school should have a private building containing a sufficient number of rooms, the creation of lecture halls
and drawing rooms, and providing it with furniture and facilities that meet health requirements. He also believes it is necessary
to utilize cinematic machines to show educational films because of their role in facilitating students' familiarity
with technical matters and bringing them closer to the world of industry. This is a method that has succeeded to a large extent in European countries.
He pointed out the need of this institution for a library containing all technical books for reference by the students.
He noted that the school lacks models of machines, mechanical tools, and illustrated boards, so he proposed providing them.
He supported the organization of a permanent exhibition in the school to display the various models made by the students, serving as evidence of
their activities and talents.
He gave special attention to the carpentry department, as he considers it the most important department in the school and believes that preparing carpenters to make
modern furniture using technical methods with mastery of paints and dyes is very necessary. This requires opening a special branch
within the carpentry department for the manufacture of doors, windows, and stairs under the supervision of a competent expert. It is also possible
to benefit from the carpentry machines, which include fifteen machines, for production work for the Ministry of Education or other departments.
This work would yield reasonable profits to be allocated to the school and for some purposes related to
industrial education.
He summarizes his other suggestions as expanding the agricultural machinery department and equipping it with all necessary tools and machines,
and that the school should organize from time to time visits to industrial facilities and factories to inspect machines and equipment, selecting
competent and specialized teachers, holding general competitions throughout the academic year, and establishing a power generation station
specifically for the school.

MR CABLES
9th June, 1932.
Report on proposed Technical School.
(Based on over 12 years experience in and around Baghdad).
From my commercial workshop experience here I know that only general
purpose machinery is used or of any use, also that machines requiring
great skill to operate are useless. As an example, I was workshop foreman
for Mesopotamia Persia Corporation soon after the shop was equipped with
up to date machinery, comprising among other machines a boring machine (in-
ternal), a universal grinder and a gear cutter. We had to train men especia-
lly for these machines and now that those men have left, I notice the
machines are not only out of use but are actually being attacked by rust.
We visited the workshop only yesterday and what I noticed only confirm
my experience as stated above and enables me to make the following sugges-
tions:
As this is quite a new adventure and the number of students is not at
present known I would suggest that the number be taken as 20, for economy
both in staff and outlay, Now I gather that the students to be accepted
will have had very little education, it is essential therefore that they
take a certain amount of Maths and theory, otherwise they will not under-
stand what they are doing or why they are doing it, with the result that
their work ⟦...⟧ will not interest them and they will never be able to under-
take an original job without expert aid. This would lead them into the
same rut as the so called mechanics in Baghdad at present (only capable of
copying other peoples work). This would also greatly reflect upon the s⟦choo⟧l.
Now having the above in view and also to make the course more interesting
both for students and Teacher it would be advisable to split the work up
into four parts, one for classes and three for practical work. The classes
would comprise of 1 Practical Maths, 2 Strain & Stress (Elementary),
3 qualities of Materials, 4 Estimating and costing,
while the practical side would embody the following sections:
1 Forge including annealing & hardening
2 Machines shop
3 Bench fitting
4 Foundry work (small castings)
5 Sheet metal work (small amount)
6 Brazing & Welding
Of course it would be impossible to draw up a schedule of work until
at least 3 months after starting, when it would be possible to sort the
students out according to their abilities the equipment of the school,
and the staff.
There are many possibilities and much to be said in favour of such an
undertaking, but now is not the time so much depends upon the students,
their abilities, desire and adaptability.
Attached is a rough list of machinery that I think would be most suitable.
1. 20BIP Crude oil engine (Clayton Babcock)
2 Lathe, Drummond or, other cheap make 6" centre, about 3' between centres
10" gap, complete with 3 jaw & chuck 4 jaw chuck & Face plate, tools,etc.

Third meeting of the School of Arts Committee
21 / 2 / 1949
Chaired by Mr. Abdullah Obaidya and attended by the members Mr. Manshi Qaraeen, Daoud Shlomo, Ezra
Fattal and Sami Ibrahim Haim.
1 - After approving the minutes of the previous session, the members reviewed 10 maps obtained from
Mr. Saleh Shlomo, prepared in the years 1934-1935 on the occasion of the opening of this school, and decided to postpone
the discussion of studying them in detail until a future session.
2 - The issue of the minimum admission for students from an academic perspective was reviewed, and it was decided that
if an insufficient number of students apply to join the vocational institute intended to be opened from those who succeeded in
official primary education, then there is no harm in accepting those who succeeded from the fifth primary grade
provided that graduates of the sixth primary grade are given priority in this regard.
3 - Then began the discussion of the subjects that will be taught in this vocational institute from a theoretical
and practical perspective. Member Mr. Ezra Fattal mentioned that it is more appropriate to decide on the industries intended for students to be trained in
in this institute before entering the curriculum topic, and accordingly, he submitted a list containing <del>11</del> ⟦ten⟧ basic branches
of crafts, and each of these types branches into between eight and fifty sub-crafts. After discussing them branch
by branch, it was initially decided to choose three branches for training students in the institute under discussion, which are:
a - Blacksmithing branch ⟦for construction⟧ b - Wood branch c - Electricity branch
4 - This session was adjourned, to be held at 5:30 PM on Monday
the next, corresponding to 28 / 2 / 1949, at the headquarters of the community's presidency to continue discussing this
topic.

The Second Meeting 14 / 2 / 1949
Chaired by Mr. Abdullah Obeidia and in the presence of the members: Messrs. Munshi Qara'in, Daoud Shlomo, Ezra Fattal
and Sami Ibrahim Hayyim.
After approving the minutes of the previous session, the discussion began on the principles intended to be followed in opening the
vocational institute in a preliminary manner, and the subject of the entry level for students intending to join this institute was discussed.
After studying various proposals, including that the student should have completed intermediate studies so that his age upon
graduation from the institute would qualify him to start his profession directly, and after studying other hypotheses, it was agreed that it would be
more appropriate to set the minimum level for admission to the mentioned institute as primary education ⟦with knowledge⟧
of the English language sufficient to read (a catalog or a map and similar matters required by his profession).
It was also agreed that it is more appropriate for the maximum and minimum age of those joining this institute to be
<del>14 years</del>. This is subject to the requirement of special health qualifications and following the principles of preference
in accepting those joining this institute.
The session was adjourned to be held at five-thirty on the evening of next Monday, corresponding to
21 / 2 / 1949, to continue discussing this subject.

It is superfluous to recapitulate here the numerous and indisputable
advantages that the Baghdad Community would benefit from if a certain
number of young Israelite men were directed towards respectable and lucrative
manual trades.
A small effort has already been made in this direction and has had as a
good result the training of a certain number of good carpenters who
easily earn <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> their living.
At this moment, it cannot be too highly recommended to create an
institution that would aspire to train founders, turners,
mechanics, etc., who would be taught to know well and to use well,
modern tools, engines, and other machines of all
kinds. A vast field of action and a guaranteed future await these young
artisans, who are and will always be in great demand, by <del>⟦illegible⟧</del>
industrial and agricultural enterprises as well as by the Railway and
Oil Companies.
Enclosed is a small general and approximate overview for the
creation of this institution and its operation during the
first years.
PREMISES The essential condition to ensure the existence of a philanthropic work
is the possession of premises sufficient for its current and future needs,
and it is highly advisable to acquire land in an appropriate place and to erect a modern workshop building there.
Currently, a sum of approximately £2000/- seems to be sufficient for
this purpose.

MACHINES. A sum of £2000/- seems also sufficient for the purchase
and erection of an engine, the necessary machines and tools.
PERSONNEL. There will be a need to hire two well-trained
and experienced workshop managers.
BUDGET. It seems certain that after a short trial period,
the institution will be able to support itself and even make profits,
but it is more prudent to create a fund of £1000/- to £2000/- for it,
from which it can draw in case of necessity, and which ⟦...⟧ would also serve for its
eventual expansion and development.
In summary, a sum of £5,000 to £6,000/- seems sufficient for the ⟦...⟧
creation and smooth operation of this Institution.
OPERATION It is premature to study the operation
of this Institution now, but the following principles are recommendable.
1st. Apprentices will preferably be admitted from schools, but in all
cases must possess a minimum of instruction.
2nd. Certain theoretical lessons should accompany practical work, and for
this purpose, teachers from the Community's schools can be used.
3rd. Trial period of 3 to 6 months during which the apprentice will not
be remunerated.
4th. During the following period, the apprentice will be remunerated according to his
work and progress, but half of his salary will be withheld
to create capital for him, which would serve for the purchase of tools or
machines when he leaves the institution and sets up
on his own.
5th. Aid to the apprentice in the form of a loan or otherwise, when he sets up
on his own.
6th. Friendly relations between the institution and its former apprentices
to whom it would allow the use of its machines on easy terms
and whom it would help to find work.
