But some private secondary schools have progressed very well. It is hoped that the weakness shown by the rest of these schools will decrease with the increasing experience of those on whom their success depends, and the increasing number of graduating teachers until their number becomes sufficient. Of those who obtained the secondary certificate, numbering 445 in 1911 (compared to 419 in 1910), 331 are now pursuing their studies in higher colleges in Egypt and elsewhere, and 81 are employed either by the government or elsewhere, and 24 remain whose activities are unknown.

25 – Girls' Education It is likely that in the social condition of Egypt in the last twelve years, nothing else has been as admirable as the trend of thought among people of all Egyptian classes towards the desire for their daughters to be educated. The girls' schools affiliated with the Ministry of Education have been overcrowded, necessitating the acquisition of land for a new school in Alexandria and two new schools in Cairo. Many applications from female students for admission to girls' schools have had to be rejected. The provincial councils have been concerned with addressing this shortage. Girls' schools have been opened in five provinces, and some private girls' schools have been taken over. However, the demand for schools run by the Ministry of Education has increased, and what the provincial councils have stated in this regard shows that the female teachers available for instruction are few and insufficient, which is worrying. A school was established in 1900 to train female teachers, and it currently has 28 students preparing for teaching. Some have been sent to Ankara to graduate in pedagogy, but neither the students of the aforementioned school nor those sent to Europe are sufficient in number to meet the demand for female teachers. It is hoped that the number of students from primary girls' schools will increase, making it easier to educate girls at the primary level. Similarly, the desire for girls' education in kuttabs has increased to the point where it is impossible to find enough space to accommodate them. There is not a sufficient number of female teachers for these kuttabs, even though the Boulac school, where female teachers for kuttabs are trained, has been greatly expanded and now has 69 of them. It is necessary to establish a school for training female teachers in every province. The provincial councils have established two schools of this type, and it is expected that their desire in this regard will increase to prepare female teachers and kuttabs for girls' education. The number of girls' schools affiliated with and supervised by the Ministry of Education is now 2713, with 25073 female students. This number represents an increase of 8 percent compared to 1910.
