2026-2027 Al-Azhar transfer rules

The Egyptian government has clarified the conditions and deadlines for transfers between Al-Azhar institutes and Basic Education Schools for the 2026/2027 academic year. Registration for transfer requests begins on August 1, 2026, and continues until August 31, with adherence to age limits and class sizes in the target schools. Transfers are permitted for elementary school students from the second to the sixth grade, provided they meet the age and capacity requirements. Additionally, students in the early years of middle school can transfer to general education schools if they were enrolled at Al-Azhar at the start of the stage. Transfers to language schools are conditional upon the student's success in the first foreign language and in science and mathematics subjects taught in the same language, along with the requirement that the student’s age is not older than their peers in the target grade. Students must also have spent at least two years in kindergarten. Procedurally, an electronic statement must be attached demonstrating the student's academic status (pass or fail) from the Al-Azhar Examination Department. Approval for the transfer must be obtained first from the original institution and then from the destination institution, with official documentation of the request via specific stamped forms. Furthermore, the regulations permit students who have exhausted their allowed failure years in Al-Azhar middle school to take the general education exams from abroad. The transfer procedures will continue as long as everyone adheres to the specified deadlines and conditions, ensuring the process is conducted systematically and smoothly.
