TYPES OF SCHOOLS IN EGYPT

Government Schools

Generally speaking, there are two types of government schools: Arabic Schools and

Experimental Language Schools.
Arabic Schools, provide the governmental national curriculum in the Arabic Language
Experimental Language Schools, teach most of the government curriculum in English, and add

French as a second foreign language.
Private Schools
Generally speaking, they are three types of private schools:
Ordinary schools, their curriculum is quite similar to that of the government schools, but the

private schools pay more attention to the students' personal needs and to the school facilities.
Language schools, teach most of the government curriculum in English, and add French or German as a second foreign language. They are expected to be better than the other schools,

because of the facilities available, but their fees are much higher. Some of these schools use

French or German as their main language of instruction, but it may be difficult for the student to

study in governmental universities in Arabic or English afterwards.
Religious Schools, are religiously oriented schools that are sponsored by the Muslim

Brotherhood movement, especially in the western delta region. Their curricula differ from those

of the state or the Azhar schools.
Many of the private schools were built by missionaries, are currently affiliated with churches and

provide quality education.Many private schools offer additional educational programs, along with

the national curriculum, such as the American High School Diploma, the British IGCSE system,

the French baccalaureat, the German Abitur and the International Baccalaureate

EDUCATION IN EGYPT

The Egyptian educational system is highly centralized, and is divided into three stages:
Basic Education
Primary Stage
Preparatory Stage
Secondary Education
Post-Secondary education (College education)
Since the extension of the free compulsory education law in 1981 to include the Preparatory Stage, both Primary and Preparatory phases (Ages 6 through 14) have been combined together under the label Basic Education. Education beyond this stage depends on the student's ability.

Note
College education in Egypt is like a routine for any family. That means the family usually ask their kid which college you will go not you will go to college or no

MEDIA OF EGYPT

The media of Egypt is highly influential in Egypt and in the Arab World, attributed to its large audience and increasing freedom from government control. Freedom of the media is guaranteed in the constitution, and the government is increasingly respecting this, however many laws still remain that restrict this right.
