Pre-University Education Dynamics in Egypt

The importance of education in a developing country like Egypt is obvious. ‎Education has been the entry point to progress and prosperity in the ‎countries that have changed their status and counted among the advanced ‎ones, and is,therefore,the potential solution for any nation seeking to ‎achieve the breakthrough from a developing to an industrial nation. ‎Education has been nationally recognized as a pivotal factor in Egypt’s ‎social and economic development.This study has been organized to examine patterns and dynamics of the pre‎university education in Egypt,from a developmental and demographic ‎perspective. The subject is important enough to warrant increasing attention ‎from researchers, planners, and policy makers. Preuniversity education ‎represents the very foundation of the educational system in the country,and ‎consumes most of the educational budget; and,thus,deserves detailed ‎examination.The work is, also,deemed to be illustrative while handling the different ‎educational models and techniques utilized, so that other researchers can ‎apply them properly and efficiently using data of coming periods of time for ‎comparison purposes.‎
