359. It will be seen that the Ministry of Education maintains 11. and the
provincial councils 15, of the 26 training colleges; that the Ministry ot Education
maintains alone 6 higher elementary schools; that of the 809 fully-organised
elementary schools 142 are managed entirely, and maintained wholly or in part, by
the Ministry of Education, 80 are managed and maintained by other Government
administrations, 10 bv societies and 577 by the provincial councils; and that, ot the
2,953 grant-in-aid elementary schools, 425 are subventioned by the Ministry of
Education, and 2,528 by the provincial councils. The provincial councils, finding
the maintenance of the elementary training colleges increasingly burdensome from
the financial point of view, are in many cases seeking to have them transferred to
the Ministry of Education.

and dependent upon, the progress of elementary schools. The total number of fully-
organised schools of this class is only 809, and the lack of the funds which can alone
permit of the creation of much needed elementary schools, especially in the large
towns where the demand is constantly increasing, is one of the most regrettable facts
in the present financial situation of the Ministry of Education. Though the Ministry
is morally responsible for the provision of elementary education in governorates, it
has been compelled to renounce the creation of six elementary schools; two girls'
schools at Port Said and Ismailia; and four boys' schools at Port Said, Ismailia,
Suez and Damietta.
361. In addition to the various branches of elementary education dealt with
above, the Ministry of Education includes under the same denomination, for
purposes of administration, two boys' infant schools, one in Cairo and th^ other in
