Education

Egypt’s education sector creates and serves the largest workforce in the Middle East and North Africa and is ripe with investment opportunities. Looking abroad, Egypt has seen how much the private sector can bring to educational development, from private education to public-private partnerships for K-12 schooling, from private university and technical/vocational education to corporate training programs. Education and training are a sector of paramount importance to the continued development of Egypt’s economy and society. However, there are key challenges to be addressed including raising productivity and increasing competitiveness and addressing the country’s persistent skills shortages. The education system is still largely driven by supply rather than demand. Therefore, vocational training or skills for employment, has rightly been placed at the very top of the reform agenda.

Total government spending on education has reached more than 100 Bn EGP in the year 2020. The pre-university education government spending constitutes 75%% while the university education spending constitutes 25%. Of the total number of pre-university students has reached more than 20 Million students in the year 2020 and expected to increase significantly in the years ahead. Total number of schools’ teachers and professors has reached more than 1.5 Million in the year 2020.The government’s investments in the university and higher education are estimated to reach more than EGP 10 billion in 2020.
