House of Representatives gives final approval to draft law amending certain provisions of Education Law
CAIRO, July 8 (MENA) - The House of Representatives, in a plenary session held Tuesday under House Speaker Hanafi el-Gebali finally approval a draft law submitted by the government to amend certain provisions of the Education Law No. 139 of 1981. The parliament had approved the articles of the draft law during Monday's session following the presentation of a report by MP Sami Hashem, Chairman of the House Education and Scientific Research Committee. The report came from the joint committee of the Education and Scientific Research Committee, along with the Budget and Planning Committee and the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. MP Sami Hashem said the draft law does not affect the current General Secondary Education (Thanaweya Amma) system, which will remain unchanged, explaining that the goal is to add the 'Egyptian Baccalaureate' as an optional and free three-year system alongside the Thanaweya Amma, rather than replacing it. Hashem further clarified that the draft law offers students a choice between two systems of equal value and outcomes. Both the Thanaweya Amma and the Egyptian Baccalaureate qualify students to obtain a certificate granting access to universities, with no discrimination between them; the choice is left entirely to students and their guardians. According to the joint committee's report, Egypt's Sustainable Development Strategy (Vision 2030) outlines strategic objectives for education, aiming to provide education to all students without discrimination (accessibility), improve the quality of the education system and its outputs in line with global standards, and boost the competitiveness of education. The parliamentary report emphasized that quantitative expansion of educational system outputs was necessary to achieve its objectives, but insufficient on its own, thus requiring improving the quality of these outputs, especially given that practical experience showing the gap between supply and demand in the labor market is largely qualitative rather than quantitative. Therefore, enhancing the quality of education in all its elements - including developing secondary education curricula and exam methods - has become urgent and essential. The report noted that this necessitates introducing a new system to replace the one applied for nearly 30 years; a very long time given the rapid and remarkable evolution in modern education methods and the need to build personalities capable of facing contemporary challenges. The parliamentary report also said the Egyptian government places significant importance on the education sector, particularly the General Secondary stage. The new system aligns with advanced global education systems. The draft law is described as a genuine and deep reform step in the education system, reflecting the government's commitment to developing education in a way that serves the interests of students and Egyptian families, reduces burdens on them and improves the quality and competitiveness of education to keep pace with global standards.

Thanaweya Amma to remain in place, baccalaureate system deemed optional: Parliament speaker - Society
Egypt's Thanaweya Amma secondary school system will remain in place, with the proposed baccalaureate-style track offered only as an optional alternative, Parliament Speaker Hanafy El-Gebaly said on Monday. El-Gebaly made the announcement during a House session that followed the Education and Scientific Research Committee's approval of the draft law on Sunday. His comments aimed to calm growing concerns among families who have long relied on the Thanaweya Amma track as the primary route to university admission. Education Minister Mohamed Abdel-Latif also addressed the session. He described the proposed baccalaureate model as a significant shift in the country's education system, emphasizing that it would remain optional. He said the new track could ease what he called the 'financial and moral burden' the current system places on Egyptian families. He argued that the baccalaureate would give students a better chance of accessing colleges that prepare them for a changing job market. The Education Committee amended the bill to formally state that the baccalaureate system will be free, optional, and last for three academic years. Lawmakers also introduced caps on exam retake fees and allowed up to 20 percent of a student's final grade in basic education to reflect yearly school performance. They said the aim was to reduce pressure on final exams and encourage regular attendance. Parliament also added a clause requiring universities to factor in students from both Thanaweya Amma and the new system when determining admissions. The move seeks to prevent any disparity between the two educational paths. The baccalaureate structure divides the secondary stage into two phases. In the first year, students will take core subjects—such as Arabic, religious education, Egyptian history, mathematics, integrated sciences, philosophy, logic, and a first foreign language—that count toward their final grade. They will also study additional subjects, such as a second foreign language, programming, and computer science, but these will not affect the final score. In the second and third years, students will continue to study core subjects and select a specialization. Students in the Medicine and Life Sciences track will study standard-level math and physics in the second year and advanced biology and chemistry in the third. Those in the Engineering and Computer Sciences track will take advanced math and physics in both years. The Business track will include advanced economics and standard math, while the Arts and Humanities focus will offer advanced geography and statistics. All students will retake religious education in their final year of study. Aside from changes in the life sciences track, the specialization subjects remain the same across the final two years. The law will also allow students to retake exams—at a cost—to improve their final scores. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

The Night Before the Big Exam: How to Prepare Without Stress
Pasant Elzaitony The night before the Thanaweya Amma exam is one of the most critical moments in a student's academic journey. It's a time when anxiety and responsibility collide, and the mind races against the clock. However, succeeding in navigating this night doesn't require a miracle—just some organization and calm. First, don't try to review the entire syllabus in one night. Effective revision means focusing on key points and notes you've taken during your studies, not diving into every detail. Dedicate time to revising rules, formulas, or areas you previously found challenging, but avoid overexertion. Second, maintain your emotional composure. Deep breathing or listening to soft music for a few minutes can help clear your mind and ease anxiety. Avoid negative discussions or excessive worrying with friends or family. Third, ensure you get proper sleep. Staying up too late weakens focus and tires the mind. It's best to finish revising before midnight and get at least six hours of sleep. Fourth, prepare your exam essentials early: your ID card, pens, ruler, and calculator (if needed). Don't risk a stressful morning due to forgotten items. Finally, remember that the exam is just a milestone, not the end of the road. Confidence and balanced effort are the keys to success. Give yourself hope, and move toward your goal with steady steps. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...
