In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Sisters, brothers in the education circle, our student sons and daughters
We congratulate you from the depths of our hearts on the occasion of the new academic year while you move a further step on the way to future, and lay another brick to build the future of Iraq and its towering edifice, we also congratulate all those who have exerted themselves, worked hard and found the fruit of their efforts, wishing them further successes, as we wish for our daughters and sons who were forced by circumstances to delay their study all luck and success; and here we cannot help but to remind our student daughters and sons, our sisters and brothers in the educational system that have not spared any effort or save any strength but exerted in the high Iraqi building, to say that our Iraq today is in desperate need to you and your efforts and Iraq is just like mother and father who rejoice at the success of their children in various fields, and we have all to remember that each of us, whether in school or arable fields, in factories or public responsibility positions has a role to medicate wounds, jump over the painful recent past memories and to begin a new bright page entitled passion, affinity, self-denial and every Iraqi feels for his Iraqi brother so the face of Iraq would come back smiling with the giving of its people; however, we back up the educational system and urge them to move ahead and play the role of instructor for the children of Iraq in the direction of the unity of country, attending to its security and sovereignty, deepening the national sense in the hearts of students, and making Iraq, the whole of Iraq, above any other affiliation, whether it was sectarian or nationalistic.
Our wishes to all students and staff members of education for more successes and May God grant good luck to all for the good of Iraq and the Iraqis.
