Egypt to develop education system that encourages students’ cognitive progress
Published 15 Oct,2020 via Daily News Egypt - Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education will develop an education system that encourages the cognitive progress of students, rather than just obtaining certificates, according to Minister Tarek Shawky.
During his participation at a Canadian-Egyptian Business Council (CEBC) meeting, on Tuesday, Shawky reviewed Egypt’s education development plan. He outlined that his ministry is carrying out a variety of plans to modify the curriculum in a way that develops critical thinking among students, in a move away from their studying just to pass exams.
He said that the Ministry of Education and Technical Education began investing in digital education as early as 2016, and successfully added content to the online Knowledge Bank in 2018 for students across several school grades. He noted that over 10.4 million electronic exams for high school students have been held in the past two years.
