The problems of education in Egypt: An introduction

Education is one of the crucial issues the Egyptian people witness in their daily life, the majority of the household budget of Egyptians spend a huge some of their disposable income toward education , no matter you are a poor person or a wealthy one this will not decide your spending preference on education, the average budget allocated by the Egyptian families on education sometime exceeds half their incomes, yet the country is still categorized internationally as one of the least developed countries in the field.

The majority of educators in Egypt believes in the passive learning with no side techniques , and the majority of learners even prefer this techniques although it involves no value added for their progress, yet they are believing that it is the optimal way and should not be changed, backed up by the old school learners who are holding now the position of the teachers in the governmental schools.

On the other side, the Egyptian learners who have enjoyed the international educational systems available in the country private schools have been in a continuous trials to change the traditional ways educators are sipping their information through in the country, yet their trials still witness a remarkable weakness in front of the greater portion of old school educators.

It is very surprising that through a research we have even found that some schools who are market as (public sector - government owned) schools are even providing international educational High school certificate, and the results of their students are not bad, this means that the problem is falling withing a category that is wider than the government category as most people have stated.

Although the rate of success of the learners is attributed to private tutorials centers but this does not reflects any issue except that the consumer behavior toward education here in Egypt is  not pointed toward cost saving or spending on lower quality schemes , the people are aware enough that education will effectively participate in raising their standards Of living, thus education will be kept as one of the most sensitive issues to be opened in the media channels and even on their daily life discussions.
