The Nile valley has been a cradle of civilisation since ancient times and today Egypt has the largest population in the Middle East and North Africa. A wide array of private international schools centred on Cairo and Alexandria cater for expatriates and Egyptian families.
There are schools following the British, American, French and German education systems, and 41 IB World Schools, with 36 authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma. A total of 10 schools, including Ecole Oasis Internationale and Green Land Pre Vert International School, are authorised to teach three stages of the IB curriculum.
Most IB schools are English-medium, but Ecole Oasis is French-medium and Green Land Pre Vert International School teaches in French and English, while New Vision International School Giza teaches in Arabic and English and Rahn Schulen Kairo has bilingual instruction in German and English. Many schools offer IB and British or American qualifications.
The Council of International Schools has nine members in Egypt and the British Schools in the Middle East has eight.
Education is compulsory from age six to 17 in Egypt. In the public sector, children attend primary school for six years and preparatory school for three years, while secondary schools teach for three years. The two-term school year begins in September and ends in June.
There are two types of government school, Arabic Schools, which teach the Egyptian national curriculum in Arabic, and Experimental Language Schools, which teach science, maths and IT in English and social studies in Arabic, plus a foreign language at preparatory level.
In 2019, the net enrolment rate was 97 per cent at primary school and 85 per cent for secondary school, while gross enrolment in tertiary education reached 39 per cent of the age group in 2018.
