Editing Shoghi Effendi (section)

===Education===
Shoghi Effendi's early education took place at home with other children from the household, and was taken care of by private tutors who gave him instruction in [[Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[French language|French]], English, and literature. From 1907 to 1909 he attended the College des Freres, a Jesuit institution in Haifa, where he studied Arabic,&nbsp; [[Turkish language|Turkish]], French and English. In 1910, during the time that ʻAbdu'l-Bahá  was residing in Egypt prior to his [[ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's journeys to the West|journeys to the West]], Shoghi Effendi was briefly enrolled in the college des Freres in [[Ramleh, Egypt|Ramleh]]. Plans for him to accompany his grandfather on his travels fell through when the port authorities in Naples prevented him from continuing, ostensibly due to health issues. On his return to Egypt sometime after March 1912 he was sent to a Jesuit boarding school in Beirut, transferring in October to the preparatory school attached to the Syrian Protestant College in Beirut, graduating in 1913. Later that year Shoghi Effendi returned to the Syrian Protestant College as an undergraduate, achieving a BA in 1917, but despite enrolling there as a graduate student, he returned to Haifa without completing his degree. During his time at the Syrian Protestant College he spent his visits home to Haifa assisting ʻAbdu'l-Bahá in translation, becoming his full time secretary and translator from the end of 1918.

By the spring of 1919 the intensity of Shoghi Effendi's secretarial work had taken its toll on his health, resulting in recurring occurrences of malaria, and by the spring of 1920 he was so unwell that ʻAbdu'l-Bahá arranged for him to convalesce at a sanatorium in Paris. Following his recovery he enrolled in the Non-Collegiate Delegacy at [[Balliol College, Oxford]], in order to improve his English translation skills.{{sfn|Stockman|2022|p=105–106}}[[File:Shoghi Efandi.jpg|thumb|Shoghi Effendi before 1940]]
