Directorate

I disagree with Department. Department is the US equivelant of English "Ministry," which is at the federal level. In Iraq, the Ministry of Education is divided into several Directorates, to which this refers.

I believe, however, that this directorate has been renamed دائرة الدراسات والتخطيط والمتابعة
