Education is very important for individuals. It is important for development of human and societies. Egypt has one of the largest education systems in the world. The Egyptian educational system is highly valued .It is divided into three stages, basic, primary stage, secondary stage and post secondary stage. Each stage has its features but Egypt also faces a lot of problems.
First of all, there is the primary school where children receive the first stage of basic education. It depends on the student's ability. Then ,there is secondary school which is the final stage for compulsory education. Both of them are free and compulsory. The purpose of secondary education can be to give students general knowledge , to prepare them for vocational education or higher education.Also to train students directly to profession.finally university stage such as Cairo university,Ain shams university,Alexandria university and Suez canal university.
There are two types of education as public education and private education.public education is under the government administration.It provides the governmental national curriculum.
The private education is similar to the governmental education but in it ,they pay attention on the students needs and the facilities which face them.They are considered to be better than public education but its fees are much higher.Moreover the public education is overcrowded with students unlike private education which has much smaller number of students.
Unfortunately,there are a lot of problems which have effects on the educational system. The teachers don’t give students practical skills .They leave students without preparation for collage and then work places. Besides the lack of good libraries and the overcrowdedness of schools. Moreover facilities like science labs or computers are often closed.Also the system itself interested in memorizing and books rather than critical thinking.There are also proplems which related with the selection of teacher ,construction of building and the management of schools.
Improving the educational system is the most important factor that needs immediate attention. To develop the education system, we need to train the teachers and make teaching an attractive profession. Also the government should improve the quality of learning and teaching. we need to make schools accessible to families everywhere. Make schooling attractive for children to like it. Then government should increase private income for the family, which provides a better life quality. Moreover government should recognize the weakness of educational system and reform it.
Education is necessary for the protection of individuals and socitities.It has been considered as a human right.So government should have attention for problems of educational system and try to solve it.
