Education details on start date and fees
The new academic year in Egypt will begin on September 12, with a gradual increase in the number of school days to 183 days, aiming to give teachers and students sufficient time to complete curricula and assessments properly. The Ministry of Education confirmed that the decision to increase fees by 20% for private and international schools has not yet been issued, and that schools are obliged to adhere to the ministerial decision once it is approved. They will also handle any amounts collected in advance officially, according to the new regulations. The Ministry also announced changes to the baccalaureate exam system, including dividing questions into 50% multiple-choice and 50% essay questions. There will be an expansion of the specialization pathways system, with 60% of assessments allocated to activities and class projects. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to change their pathways during the first month of the school year to ensure alignment with their needs and interests.
