Since the
onset of the 1990s, education and culture are a priority and
Egypt exerts its efforts to develop education at all levels
as the cornerstone of progress. The new education policy
specifies a number of approaches which aim to upgrade
education in quantity and quality. Despite the huge efforts
exerted and the tangible increase of education allocations
in recent years, there are still many difficulties facing
the process of reform. These difficulties require:
- Improving access to and
equity in education.
-
Seeking adequate financing for the comprehensive education reform.
-
Generalizing compulsory education, particularly in rural areas and among
disadvantaged people, especially women and girls.
-
Constructing enough schools to allow full enrolment, reduce class sizes and
school shifts.
-
Raising the required allocations to continue improving the material and social
conditions of teachers and upgrading their professional and
scientific qualifications.
-
Overcoming illiteracy and developing systems and programs of adult education,
particularly in remote areas.
Education is
considered among crucial elements needed for constant
development of the Egyptian society. EACD is working with
several stakeholders:
- 10
local CDAs to implement activities such as education through
art program, kindergartens and literacy classes.
-
Ministry of Education to develop
activities for children and training sessions for teachers
inside the schools. Schools open during vacations and days
off to implement activities for the children. The
Association organizes regularly camps for the children and
their families – cleaning, plantations, schools’ renovation.
-
Ministry of Youth – youth clubs – to
implement activities, events and exhibitions for children
and youth of the local community.
