Abstract

As a major offshoot of the national Egyptian movement that goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, a number of national leaders, Enlightenment pioneers, and social thinkers called for the establishment of an Egyptian university. These individuals hoped for this to be a lighthouse of liberal thought and the basis of a comprehensive academic revival in all fields of knowledge in order to be able to cope with international scientific and academic advancement. By May 1908, the Royal Palace chose the administrative council for the project of the Egyptian University (EU). When the university began, not a single Egyptian could meet all its ideal criteria for professors. The EU did borrow staff from the schools of law for its criminology, economics, and law programs. Dar al-Ulum constructed the university between 1908and 1925, which had at least nine professors. The other source of interim professors was Europe. The European professors fall into two categories: those who lectured in French or English on topics unrelated to the Middle East and the orientalists who lectured on Arabic and Islamic subjects. France, Italy, England, and, to a lesser extent, Germany all jockeyed for influence at the university. European professors dominated the first generation of faculty members while promising that Egyptian students were sent abroad to train for future teaching positions. In the present review, light will be shed on the large role played by those elite European professors in determining and pushing the university forward to stand with the Egyptian professors in order to examine the development of European-style education within the EU and, to a lesser extent, the cultural influence of a number of European countries in Egyptian education.

埃及全球化的历史背景:外国教授向埃及大学的迁移(1908年)
作为可以追溯到20世纪初的埃及民族运动的一个主要分支,许多国家领导人、启蒙运动先驱和社会思想家呼吁建立埃及大学。这些人希望它成为自由思想的灯塔,并在所有知识领域全面学术复兴的基础,以便能够应对国际科学和学术进步。到1908年5月,皇家宫殿选择了埃及大学(EU)项目的行政委员会。当这所大学成立之初,没有一个埃及人能满足所有理想的教授标准。欧盟的犯罪学、经济学和法学课程确实从法学院借用了工作人员。达勒乌姆在1908年至1925年间建造了这所大学,当时至少有9名教授。另一个临时教授的来源是欧洲。欧洲教授分为两类:一类是用法语或英语讲授与中东无关的主题的教授,另一类是讲授阿拉伯和伊斯兰主题的东方主义者。法国、意大利、英国以及德国(程度稍轻)都在大学里谋求影响力。欧洲教授在第一代教师中占主导地位,同时承诺将埃及学生送往国外接受培训,为未来的教学岗位做准备。在目前的审查中,将阐明这些精英欧洲教授在决定和推动大学与埃及教授站在一起方面所发挥的重要作用,以便研究欧盟内部欧洲式教育的发展,以及在较小程度上,一些欧洲国家对埃及教育的文化影响。
