Egyptians Unable
to Decide School
System to Follow
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Egyp-
tians. who admit they have a long
way to go in eradicating illiteracy.
are debating whether to build up
their educational system on the
model o: the Soviet Union or the
, West-
The d e b a t e has apparently
sparked a conflict of views within
the government, according to Is-
raeli circles familiar with Egyp-
, tian affairs.
Premier Mahmoud Favrzi was
quoted Oct. 31 as saying that after
reviewing the educational systems
of various countries, he came to
the conclusion that the Soviet sys-
tem was the most successful.
On Nov. 25, however, Fawri ap-
peared to be retreating from that
statement when be said that Egyp-
tians will "continue to compare
our educational system with that
of other nations, east and west"
Three days later, Egypt's of-
ficial Waddle East News Agency
reported that the Egyptian sails-
ter d eineation bad met with
his Spanish counterpart and that
the French mister of eines-
tics would arrive in Egypt in
December as the head d a grow
of eisscansnal experts invited
by Egypt. The DENA dispatch
added that France weidd bellp
Egypt with the INNieraey purse-
bm.
The news agency announced Dee.
3 that the education ministers of
Matey and East Germany would
visit Egypt to discuss cultural and
educational relations_ Israeli cir-
cles noted that his eclecticism in-
dicated that the Egyptiaas are not
as enchanted with the Soviet edu-
cational system as Tarsi appear-
ed to be and that resistance in
government circles forced the
prime minister to back down_
Furthermore. the Israelis say.
the Egyptians are reluctant to trust
as sensitive a matter as educa-
tion to the Russians which would
inevitably read! in a new flood
ad Soviet experts and advisers into
their country.
