The pursuit of innovative scientific research. This is the case in the branch of biology, where the study of insects is of utmost importance due to their significant role in diseases in this country.

28 - School of Law The modern School of Law has fulfilled its mission admirably. The work of its students in 1911 was more satisfactory than in the preceding two or three years. Attendance was consistent, and the situation calls for an increase in teaching staff due to the significant growth in class sizes, especially in the English section, making it difficult for the professor to give each student sufficient individual attention. The number of students last year was 282, and 79 obtained diplomas, both figures slightly lower than in 1910. The number of new entrants also decreased. If we consider that the number of lawyers has increased beyond need, as mentioned in previous reports, then the decrease in applicants to the School of Law is a good sign, indicating that Egyptian youth have turned their attention to other sciences, which is precisely what the government aims to achieve by establishing agricultural and commercial colleges.

29 - Teacher Training The schools intended for teacher training have been adequately described in previous reports. There are seven for men and two for women. The total number of students in all these schools in 1911 was 1882, compared to 1128 in 1910. The need for training teachers who are already working has diminished, and the classes they filled with partial training will remain. However, education officials believe it is essential for all teachers to be trained in the art of teaching, whether they teach in schools directly managed by the Ministry of Education or in primary schools and similar educational institutions affiliated with provincial councils or others. To meet this need, teacher training schools were expanded during the past year. The number of sections in the first year at the modern teacher training school was increased to four. After three years, there will be four sections each year of study, with 240 students, from whom 70 or 80 teachers trained in teaching will graduate annually. A similar expansion occurred at the Nasriya Teacher Training School, and the result will be an increase in the number of students there to 403. This is expected to be sufficient for the needs of the schools.
