Egypt debates Azharite Baccalaureate transition
The implementation of the "Baccalaureate" system in Azharite education has been announced to begin at the start of the upcoming academic year, aiming to alleviate academic pressure and reduce the number of subjects students study. This system is part of legal amendments approved by Egypt, which include the preparatory phase starting with the first secondary grade and a main phase extending over two years in the second and third secondary grades, with an opportunity to improve results through second exams for an additional fee. Students are required to pass the Religious Education subject with at least 70%, while still maintaining the core Islamic and Arabic subjects that are fundamental to the Azhar curriculum. However, the implementation faces criticism from parents and specialists, who express concerns about potential repeat of objections similar to those faced during the introduction of the Baccalaureate in general education—especially given the religious nature of Azhar institutes—and emphasize the need to adapt the system to balance the distinctive religious character of Azhar education with the requirements of the new certificate.
