The purpose of this report is to support
the government of the Arab Republic of Egypt in reviewing
the status of the pre-university education sector; and in
identifying the key challenges it faces as it develops and
implements a strategic plan to enhance its base of human
capital. The key overarching finding, based primarily on the
analyses presented in the second, third and fourth chapters
of this report is that while significant progress has been
made in providing more educational opportunities to Egyptian
citizens, the quality of that educational experience is low
and unequally distributed, leading to unequal educational
outcomes. While inputs are important to quality, the authors
also define quality in terms of specific outcomes that
indicate learning at a level necessary to compete in a
global marketplace. For instance, international test
results, such as the trends in International Mathematics and
Science Study (TIMSS), are taken to be a strong indicator of
educational outcomes that matter, and quality education is
generally assumed to impact those outcomes. In addition, it
is also clear that Egypt already spends a large share of its
public and private resources (by international comparison)
on education and, therefore, further improvements in
equality of quality provision need to be financed to a great
extent through efficiency gains. |
