final draft of Egypt educational system

       Egypt has the largest overall education system in the Middle East and North Africa and it has grown rapidly since the early 1990s. nowadays there was big trying from the Government of to give greater priority in improving the education system.
      The Ministry of Education is responsible for making decisions about the education system with the support of three Centers: the National Center of Curricula Development, the National Center for Education Research, and the National Center for Examinations and Educational Evaluation. Each center has its own focus in formulating education policies with other state level committee. On the other hand; the Ministry of Higher Education supervises the higher education system.
       The Egyptian educational system is highly centralized, and is divided into three levels: the basic education stage for 4–14 years old: kindergarten for two years followed by primary school for six years and preparatory school for three years. Then, the secondary school stage is for three years, for ages 15 to 17, followed by the higher education level,that in my opinion it's too much to stay learning about14-15 years learning before university.
       There are many types of schools in Egypt: first, government schools and it has two types (Arabic school-Experimental Language Schools).
Second, private schools it has four types (ordinary, language, religious and international schools).nowadays this school make great improvements and changes in the education system.
       The most Public higher education is free in Egypt, and Egyptian students only pay registration fees. And also there are Private education that is much more expensive. Major universities include Cairo University, Alexandria University, and the 1,000-year-old Al-Azhar University, one of the world's major centers of Islamic learning. However, the general environment in the majority of universities does not foster research productivity or innovation by staff members.
    There were a few attempts for positive impact and reform the education in Egypt but those efforts remained very limited on their impact on the educational process. Education crisis in Egypt is very complicated, public education is not capable of providing quality education are hardly any education with the shortage in facilities, lack of trained educators and inflation in classes.
