Education 2.0: A Vision for Educational Transformation in Egypt

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter presents a comprehensive description and analysis of Egypt’s Education 2.0 (EDU. 2.0) reform plan for grades K-2. The reform’s five key components are described including the new multidisciplinary curriculum, technology integration, school management Continuous Professional Development (CPD), access and infrastructure, and reformed assessment. We analyze this reform from five perspectives and conclude that a cultural shift, high-quality CPD, and a robust accountability system are imperative to sustainable educational reform in Egypt. This cannot be achieved without a shared vision and engagement between teachers, parents, and Egypt’s Education Ministry.
