Ban on celebrations at international schools causes debate
The article focused on the decision by the Egyptian Ministry of Education to ban international school celebrations that take place on occasions incompatible with national culture, such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. The aim is to promote national identity and incorporate cultural and historical materials into the curriculum. The ministry clarified that these celebrations are considered contrary to societal values and undermine cultural identity. However, opponents viewed the decision as an encroachment on freedom of expression and cultural communication with the world. The resolution emphasizes concentrating on core subjects such as Arabic language, history, and religious education, while reminding the importance of these subjects in building a national character. Meanwhile, critics worry about its impact on fostering understanding with other cultures.
