قراءة في شكوى طلاب كلية الآداب بجامعة القاهرة إلى الدكتور طه حسين في عام 1929

الملخص EN

This topic provides a reading in one of the historical educational documents preserved digitally in the Archives of the Faculty of Arts, Cairo University, entitled “Faculty Departments- Department of History” during the period from 1925 to 1926 to 1960, where the document, dated 1926, with its content, a complaint submitted by students of the first year in the Faculty, Department of History and Geography, to the Vice-Dean of the Faculty, Taha Hussein, regarding the hardship they endure due to receiving the history course in English, and searching in foreign reference in English, demanding the Vice Dean’s help to overcome this difficulty by allowing the study of the history course in Arabic or a teaching assistant being assigned to deliver the lecture in Arabic after their original professor.

The study dealt with the document text parts analysis through the introductory paragraph, the content and the closing paragraph, the comment of the Vice Dean and official seals, and finally the presentation of the document format.

The study recommends the necessity of shedding light on the educational archives in Egyptian public universities, as it is one of the primary sources for documenting the history of higher education and the performance of the educational process, placing it in the hands of researchers rather than being locked into archives.
