Education
Primary Education
Egypt has an extensive education system that outstrips all others in the Middle East and North Africa, and where even tertiary education is free. The compulsory primary education program follows kindergarten at age 4. Primary school that begins at age six takes 6 years and preparatory school another 3. During this introductory phase pupils may enrol at state, religious or private schools by choice.
Middle Education
Three years of preparatory schooling follow at the end of which a basic education completion certificate is awarded. During this time a student’s aptitude is examined in order to determine their best secondary education route.
Secondary Education
There are three streams in secondary education, namely general (3 years), technical (as long a 5 years) and vocational. Technical secondary schools are organized around industrial, commercial or agricultural themes. Both technical and general schooling are conduits to tertiary education.
What we can say about education in Egypt, concerns one word: good! The level of Education comparing to other African countries, is high standard. The school system in Egypt divides the level of education by age.
Pre-primary is 4 to 5 years old, primary is 6 to 11 years-old, secondary is 12 to 17-yeas old and tertiary is 18 to 22 years old.
