Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has issued directives stressing the need to continue enforcing discipline and reinforcing ethical and positive values within the educational system. He emphasized that there should be no leniency in this matter, and that swift and decisive accountability measures must be taken against any violations or misconduct. He added that the government, in coordination with the Ministry of Education, is working to exert all necessary efforts to ensure greater discipline throughout the entire educational process.
Madbouly made the remarks on Wednesday while chairing the weekly Cabinet meeting at the government headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, to discuss a number of files and issues. At the beginning of the meeting, the prime minister referred to several important meetings held this week by the president, one of which — attended by the Minister of Education and Technical Education — discussed a number of topics related to general and technical education, as well as proposed additions to the curriculum such as a programing and artificial intelligence course, in line with the state’s digital transformation vision.
The meeting also reviewed efforts to develop the technical education system and other related files. He noted that the president has directed the government to continue exerting all possible efforts and to take appropriate measures to support teachers, provide continuous incentives, and improve their economic conditions — a directive the government is working to implement.
Within this context, the prime minister referred to the president’s reception this week of a group of Japanese education experts visiting Egypt. The premier added that the president emphasized Egypt’s keenness to benefit from leading global educational models in line with the state’s vision for building the Egyptian citizen. He highlighted plans to increase the number of Japanese schools and Japanese education experts working in Egypt to achieve a qualitative shift in education.
Madbouly affirmed the government’s support for the success and expansion
of the Japanese schools’ project in Egypt in implementation of the president’s
directives.
