Education In My Country

My country “Egypt” has the largest education system in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and it has grown rapidly since 1990.Recentally Govt. of Egypt has accorded even great priority in improving the education and education system.

According to the Human Development Index (HDI),Egypt is ranked 116 in the HDI. With the help of World Bank and other multilateral organizations Egypt aims to increase access in early childhood care and education and the inclusion of ICT at all levels of education, especially at the tertiary level. The government is responsible for offering free education at all levels. The current overall expenditure on education is about 12.6 percent as of 2007. Investment in education as a percentage of GDP rose to 4.8 in 2005 but then fell to 3.7 in 2007. The Ministry of education is also tackling with a number of issues: trying to move from a highly centralized system to offering more autonomy to individual institutions, thereby increasing accountability.

In education, the personnel management needs to be overhauled and teachers should be hired on merit with salaries attached to the performance.
