Parents upset over Arabic and History scoring
The decision by the Ministry of Education to include Arabic Language and History as part of the overall grade for students in international schools under the British and American diploma systems has sparked widespread controversy. The decision, announced in August 2024 with a four-year grace period for implementation, has led to a significant increase in costs, with course fees reaching 22,000 Egyptian pounds for Grade 11 and 30,000 pounds for Grade 12, thereby adding to the financial burden on parents. Parents have also expressed concerns that sudden enforcement of the decision could harm students pursuing international certifications, especially since some are struggling to achieve a 100% grade, which is required for admission to public universities. They fear this may reduce their children’s chances of acceptance into key colleges. Experts emphasize that the decision aims to strengthen national identity, but it raises challenges in implementation, particularly for students outside Egypt where curricula and education systems vary.
