It is worth mentioning that the 1910 examination showed an increase in success compared to 1909. Reports from the director of the mission in England and the school principals indicate the diligence and good conduct of the mission members, except for one. Many Egyptian students go to Europe for further studies, as I mentioned in my previous report, to complete their lessons, but the Egyptian government is not responsible for them. The Egyptian mission's funds increased from 1600 Egyptian pounds in 1907 to 13900 Egyptian pounds in 1910.

"59" - School of Sharia Judiciary The School of Sharia Judiciary will henceforth be part of Al-Azhar University, while maintaining its school independence as stipulated in the current decree issued in 1907 establishing it. The Al-Azhar committee will be under the supervision of the Ministry of Education as needed. The school's budget will be determined by the Ministry's budget and will be independent within the general government budget. Its staff will remain counted among government employees. In the annual examination last June, only 30 out of 299 students in the lower section failed, and one out of 25 students in the upper section failed. The number of applications for admission to the lower section has consistently exceeded its current capacity. All school sections are now complete, with 375 students in the lower section and 30 students in the upper section.

"60" - Al-Azhar University It has been proven that this ancient Islamic scientific institution needs reorganization, as I stated in my 1907 report. I mentioned in the following year's report the fate of the suggested reforms, as a group of scholars misinterpreted them and saw evil in them, leading to their neglect. In the middle of last year, Muhammad Pasha Said, the Prime Minister, wanted this important issue to be reconsidered, so a committee was formed from the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, and the Public Prosecutor to examine it in detail. The committee submitted a report and attached a draft for Al-Azhar and similar religious scientific institutions. This draft was examined by a group of senior men, scholars, and the Director of Endowments, who made some amendments. The Council of Ministers approved it, and then it was presented to the Legislative Council in December last.
