New strategy for education in Egypt
Egypt, Education, 7/4/2006

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak approved Monday a plan to develop the country's educational system over the coming 15 years.

Chairing a high-profile ministerial meeting, the President stressed the importance of high-quality education and transparency in choosing cadres at different levels of education.

Minister of Higher Education Hani Hilal said that the plan is based on two criteria.

The first has to meet the basics of the educational process, while the second tackles the executive aspects.

Under the new plan, more private and state-run institutes and universities will be established nationwide on an equal footing.

The President underlined that the free education policy would remain unchanged, the minister added.

Hilal noted that the plan also focuses on opening new branches of Egyptian universities abroad, particularly in the Arab states.

The minister said that working a team work from the ministries concerned will be formed in the days to come to advance the plan and put it into effect.
