Education system Egypt | Nuffic | 2nd edition, December 2010 | version 3, September 2018 5 Education system | Evaluation chart Education system Egypt Introduction Egypt is made up of 18 provinces and is bordered by Libya, Sudan and Israel. The official name of the country is the Arab Republic of Egypt. Today, Egypt’s population is over 96 million people, half of which live in urban areas. It is estimated that approximately one-quarter of Egypt's population live in poverty, mainly due to underemployment. Approximately 35 per cent of the population is made up of young people under the age of 15, putting a lot of pressure on education and the labour market. Around a quarter of the population is illiterate. In Egypt, 2 ministries are responsible for education: the Ministry of Education is responsible for pre-school, primary and secondary education, and higher education is governed by the Ministry of Higher Education. There are also a number of specialist institutes that fall under the supervision of other ministries. The Ministry of Al-Azhar Affairs supervises denominational education (from primary to university education) at the Al-Azhar schools and the university (Al-Azhar University). Diplomas awarded in this system are considered to be equivalent to diplomas obtained at public institutions. Monitoring of the Egyptian education system is highly centralised, for both public and private institutions. The Ministry of Higher Education (established in 1961) is responsible for the supervision and coordination of higher education. These activities have been subdivided among a number of Supreme Councils, including a Supreme Council of Universities. This council, chaired by the Minister of Higher Education, formulates university education policy, coordinates university programmes, determines how many students may be admitted to the various faculties each year, and advises the government on university financial affairs. The council also deals with international comparisons and credential evaluation. Education has been free at public institutions since 1962, and is compulsory until the end of the first phase of secondary school, i.e. up to the ninth year. The language of instruction in higher education is Arabic, except at the following university faculties, where English is used: Dentistry, Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, Architecture, Natural Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and English Language and Literature. Final theses and doctoral theses are written in Arabic, with an abstract in English. One exception to this rule is the American University of Cairo, where English is used as the language of instruction for all programmes. The academic year runs from September until June, with a break in January. The school/study week runs from Saturday until Thursday morning. University examinations are conducted in June, with supplementary exams in September and January. Education system Egypt | Nuffic | 2nd edition, December 2010 | version 3, September 2018 6 Education system | Evaluation chart Education system Egypt Primary and secondary education Primary school (basic education) lasts for 6 years. No diploma is issued at the end of basic education (prior to 1988, the Primary Education Certificate was awarded). This is followed by preparatory education for children aged from 12 to 14, with a nominal duration of 3 years. At the end, pupils take a centralised national examination and are awarded the Basic Education Certificate (shahâdat itmâm al-dirâsa bi-marhalat al-ta`lîm al-asâsî). In terms of level, the Basic Education Certificate is comparable to approximately 2 years of HAVO. Alternatively, pupils can enrol on a 3-year programme at a vocational school after primary school. This type of schooling is aimed particularly at pupils who are unable to successfully complete basic education, or who do not pass the first year of preparatory education. At the end of this phase, pupils receive the Certificate of Completion of Basic Education and Vocational Preparation (shahâdat itmâm marhalat al-ta`lîm al-asâsî, i`dâd mihanî). After this programme, pupils can continue on to a vocational secondary school. The Secondary School Diploma in Vocational Preparation (diblôm al-madâris al- thânawiyya l-fanniyya, i`dâd mihanî) does grant access to post-secondary education, and is therefore a final programme of study. After preparatory education, pupils can continue on to related general secondary education or to vocational education at a technical secondary school (madrasa thânawiyya fanniyya). The secondary education phase lasts 3 years. The first year consists of a common curriculum, and in the second year pupils choose either the general (academic) or technical track. Around 70% of all pupils choose the technical track, due to the lack of places in the general track and also because selection takes place based on pupils’ results from the previous phase. Within the general track, pupils opt to study either (natural) sciences or language and literature. Upon completion of this phase, students are awarded the General Secondary Education Certificate (shahâdat itmâm al-dirâsa al-thânawiyya al-`âmma). Subjects are divided into compulsory subjects and subjects for which pupils take exams but which do not count towards the final diploma. Secondary school curricula are very uniform in all schools, and the final examination is a national exam. Teaching methods put a strong emphasis on memorizing

    What's the Difference Between the B.A. and B.S. Degree In

    What’s the Difference Between the B.A. and B.S. Degree in ES? 8.1.20 If you’re thinking about pursuing Environmental Studies (ES) at UC Santa Barbara the first important decision you have to make is choosing which degree to pursue, the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Studies. While both majors are similar in design and stress the importance of understanding the complex interrelationships between the humanities, social sciences, and natural science disciplines, having two degree options allows students maximum flexibility to choose a major that best fits their environmental interests and goals. In this document we provide a detailed comparison of the academic requirements of the B.A. and B.S. major so one can understand the differences and can make an educated decision. Given your decision will also be based on what you want to do after graduation we thought it might be helpful to also highlight just a few example career paths each degree might lead to. Just remember, no matter which major you choose, your decision should be based on what you believe will ultimately make you happy. Simply put, the B.A. degree in ES is the more interdisciplinary major, requiring a swath of introductory courses in the humanities, social, physical, and natural sciences. It stresses the importance of comprehending basic social, cultural, and scientific theories and understanding how they interact with one another and play an important part of every environmental issue. While this degree will make one science literate, the degree offers maximum flexibility to select ES electives and outside concentration courses from just about every academic discipline at UCSB, including: arts, policy, culture, languages, humanities, and economics to name just a few.

This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein Foreword ‘Level 5-The Missing Link’ is an intriguing title for this new publication of EURASHE for those not versed in the qualifications terminology. It rightly points to an existing lack in the National Qualifications Frameworks, at least in some countries in the European Higher Education Area (formerly ‘Bologna’). The implementation of the two- (later three) cycle structure also had to incorporate the level that is the link between secondary and higher education, and this for reasons explained below. It is a great merit of the two researchers, Magda Kirsch and Yves Beernaert, co-authors of the report, that they have taken up the challenge of mapping a sector of (higher) education in a variety of countries, which often have just this in common, that they are among the 47 that signed the Bologna Declaration, but otherwise have such different education systems and structures that make comparisons of levels and programmes extremely difficult.
