- 65 -Sir Reginald Wingate did not, in most cases, implement the policy of Sudanization mentioned above. Rather, he was forced to use Europeans to serve the general Egyptian populace, especially in increasing Nile water and revenue. He wrote, and I agree with him, that increasing the number of Egyptian employees increased the service's efficiency and effectiveness in proportion to their increase. Nevertheless, Sir Reginald Wingate reconsidered this matter, and a project for the need arose, which I will not detail here. I will say that it included increasing the number of employees in senior administrative positions, such as inspectors, soon, and a greater number of them over time.

(c) Ministry of Justice I will say little about this matter, as the number of employees in it is almost entirely Egyptian. There are only 26 Europeans among 1600 employees. The number of European employees was increased by only 5 in the last ten years. Perhaps the number of Europeans in it was less than it should have been.

(d) Ministry of Public Instruction The number of employees in the Ministry of Public Instruction was 723 in 1896, meaning 631 Egyptians and 92 Europeans. Their number reached 954 in 1906, including 794 Egyptians and 160 Europeans (1). This means that the number of Egyptians increased by 163 and Europeans by 68 in the last ten years. These figures were examined in detail. First, all the employees of the Kuttabs, numbering 95, are Egyptian, except for the headmistress of the Boulac school for training Kuttab teachers. Second, the number of employees, "teachers and assistants," in primary schools was 375 Egyptians and 10 Europeans (2) in 1896. It became 442 Egyptians and no Europeans on January 1, 1906. Thus, the assistance of Europeans had no effect in these schools. As for girls' schools, the number of employees was 9 Egyptians and 8 Europeans in 1896, and 12 Europeans in 1906.

(1) In addition to the teachers in Kuttabs not under government supervision, such as the teachers of teacher training schools for Kuttabs, Kuttab inspectors, and clerks employed in the Diwan for all colleges. This pertains to Kuttabs that receive aid from the government. (2) In addition to these ten Europeans, there were 16 others, secondary school teachers, who spent some of their time teaching in primary schools.
