The Nationalization Of Arabic And Islamic Education In Egypt: Dar Al Alum And Al Azhar, Lois A. Aroian
Faculty Books
This study sets forth for the first time the vital role of Dar Al'ulum, Egypt's first and only continuously operating university level teaching training institution, in the nationalization of Islamic and Arabic education in Egypt.

Distributing Disposable Income And The Impact Of Eliminating Food Subsidies In Egypt, Karima Korayem
Distributing Disposable Income And The Impact Of Eliminating Food Subsidies In Egypt, Karima Korayem
Faculty Books
While both papers in this issue were written on different occasions, both discuss factors relating to the standard of living of the Egyptian population, namely, income and consumption. They, therefore are sufficiently related to comprise a single monograph. The income distribution paper shows that a large proportion of the population falls in the relatively low income brackets. The second paper, a subject of intensive public debate at present, shows how important food subsidy is in keeping down the cost of living of the low-income urban population. For example, it has been found that almost one-third of the urban population devote …
