Education Minister urges parental support
The Minister of Education and Technical Education, Mohamed Abdel Lattif, affirmed that canceling assessments or reducing school days is not a solution to improving the quality of education in public schools. He emphasized that the goal is to provide education aligned with international standards through improving the quality of curricula and assessments. He explained that approximately 87% of students study in government schools, and the issue of high class sizes, which previously exceeded 50 students per classroom, has been largely addressed thanks to investments totaling 250 billion Egyptian pounds over the past decade. The ministry has succeeded in increasing attendance rates to over 90%. He also noted that assessments have become essential as they are linked to the improvement of educational standards. The plan is to phase out evening classes in primary schools by 2027 to enhance the learning environment and direct the budget toward improving school efficiency. He confirmed that the Egyptian Baccalaureate system aims to ease the pressure of the high school exam by providing students with multiple options and exam opportunities, thus offering greater flexibility in continuing their educational paths.
