Abstract
This chapter examines how, during the interwar years, educators and civil servants used their elite status to redefine the parameters of teaching and to shape the authority of their governments overall. Under Britain's Middle Eastern mandates, educators enjoyed and promoted participation in government. They received state paychecks and carried out inspections. Educators also encouraged their students and their societies to try out the ideologies that fluctuated across the Middle East. These concepts ranged from the ends of cosmopolitan Ottoman identities, to dreams of a unified Arab state, to overlapping sentiments of Palestinian, Iraqi, Transjordanian, tribal, religious, and local notions of affiliation. Ultimately, educators' connections to governments tied politics to professionalism in a peculiar way, a relationship forged within a culture of petitions, notions of self-improvement, social mobility through schooling, literature, and local conflicts.
