| 1911 | 1910 | 1909 | 1908 | 1907 | 1906 | 1905 | 1890 | 1890 | |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| | 10111 | 13545 | 12467 | 12361 | 14016 | 7410 | 6266 | 6135 | 5761 | In Government Schools | 2746 | 3716 | 3747 | 3789 | 4678 | 4730 | --- | --- | --- | In Literacy Schools | 7744 | 8244 | 8564 | 8752 | 7425 | 6486 | 7342 | 5761 | In Primary Schools | 1644 | 1786 | 1859 | 846 | 857 | 875 | 297 | 213 | 223 | In Industrial Schools and Sections | 2160 | 2177 | 2245 | 2141 | 2112 | 1345 | 566 | 684 | 634 | In Secondary Schools | 1251 | 1596 | 1548 | 1511 | 1204 | 743 | 288 | 246 | 282 | In Colleges | 56 | 56 | 50 | 40 | 22 | 4 | 4 | 12 | 28 | In Egyptian Missions These results are satisfactory. The reason for the low number of students in secondary schools will be explained in the section dedicated to it. The number of students in technical colleges decreased because the School of Sharia Justice, which was counted among them, was separated from the Ministry of Education and added to Al-Azhar University. In 1910, there were 405 students in the School of Sharia Justice. If this number is subtracted from the total number of students in colleges that year, it appears that their number increased significantly in 1911. Most of this increase was in the School of Engineering and the Nasriya Teachers' College. The Ministry of Education monitors the schools listed in the following table.
