- File 4/16 I Bahrain State Education
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials relating to the development of education in Bahrain (with some reference to Kuwait).
Specifically, the file contains details of the reform and expansion of Bahrain's educational system under Director of Education, C R L Adrian-Vallance and his successor, F J Wakelin. Much of the correspondence relates to the hiring of teachers from other parts of the Arab world, including Palestine and Syria. The file contains a letter in Arabic (with English translation) from a group of Palestinian teachers regarding their expenses spent when travelling to Bahrain from Palestine (ff 103-107).
The file contains a report written by Adrian-Vallance concerning reforms undertaken between December 1939 and May 1940 (ff 26-37).
The file also contains translations of a number of articles about education that were placed in the local newspaper Al Bahrain by Adrian-Vallance in early 1940 (ff 3-15).
