(ii) Technical school
There has been a considerable falling off in the number
of students in the Technical School due to the abnormal demand
for skilled and semi-skilled workers however immature their
^raining. The teaching staff have had to contend with con
siderable difficulties oving to a shortage of materials and
instruments. The future of the Technical School was discussed
with the Bahrain Government during 1944 and it is possible that
the Bahrain petroleum Company may be inclined to take over the
institution with suitable reservations to the Bahrain Government
in the way of a quota of scholarships for boys nominated by the
Bahrain Government. Nothing definite could be settled as the
Bahrain Petroleum Company are at present very pre-occupied with kh
the abnormal war programme they have been called upon to handle.
It is probable that in 1945 they will be able to put into exe
cution a number of sound schemes for the benefit of the general
population which they have been considering in theory during
the past year and it is hoped that one of their first actions
will be to come to an agreement with the Bahrain Government
regarding the Technical school.
(iii) Girls 1 Schools
The Girls' Section luid much the same difficulties to
contend with as the Boys' Section. There have however been
very large increases in the number of students in the Girls'
Schools. This is due to the higher standard of education
brought about by the recruitment from overseas of skilled
mistresses, and the realisation by the general public that an
educated girl has much greater chances of making a satisfactory
marriage.
