6. In addition to the above two Histories there should
certainly in my opinion be a third ones that of our henefioent
connection with the Arab States referred to by Vallanoe,
coyering not only Kuwait and Bahrain but also the Trucial
Coast and Muscat. This History would be taught in both the
Kuwait and Bahrain schools, to whoiD copies would be supplied
free, Copies could also be sent to the
Trucial Coast
A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates.
, which
is now taking an interest in education, and to Muscat for
use there• It would not need to be a lengthy production*
It would be prepared by us, in consultation with the India
Office and the Gorernraent of India, and we would have to make
arrangements for its translation. I do not think that we
can expect the Shaikhs to pay for its translation and print
ing, and His Majesty*© Government should bear the cost, which,
as a means of efficacious Publicity, would be money well
worth spent# In fact I cannot imagine a better form of
Publicity or one that would have a more lasting effect,
?• There are thus 3 Historiess
(a) Of Kuwait, to be prepared by Yallanoe and paid
for by the Kuwait Governosent.
(b) Of Bahrain, to be prepared under similar
arrangements.
;
(c) Of the British connection with the Arab States
of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, to be prepared by us, and
paid for by His Majesty's Government.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Caroe, Peel and
Galloway.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to the development of education in Bahrain. In particular, the correspondence discusses a proposal by C.R.L Adrian-Vallance to establish a college of higher education in Bahrain for students from all of the Arab states of the Gulf.
Adrian-Vallance proposed this idea as a means to combat Pan-Arab/anti-British sentiment and foster a sense of Gulf identity distinct from a broader Arab identity. A letter (from Adrian-Vallance to Charles Belgrave, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa's adviser) that outlines his plan for the college is contained on ff. 7 - 15.
The file also includes a detailed report on government education in Bahrain with proposals for reform (written by Adrian-Vallance in 1939) contained on ff. 52b - 126, a report on technical education in Bahrain (written by Geoffrey E. Hutchings in 1940) contained on ff. 160 - 192 and a report written by Adrian-Vallance in May 1940 that gives an update on the progress made in education in Bahrain since his appointment as Director of Education in the country in November 1939.
The file also contains correspondence regarding Adrian-Vallance's appointment as Director of Education in Bahrain, including a copy of his contract with Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
