Congratulations to Linda Herrera, professor, EPOL, on publishing her website based on her five years of research on Egypt's education reform. The website has English and Arabic resources, including original oral history video highlights with policymakers, policy documents, curriculum frameworks for grades K-6, the new textbooks and teacher's guides for kindergarten to Grade 6, and a photo gallery.
The website provides a resource for people studying education in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa since Egypt has led education reform. The project is unique because accessing these types of resources is challenging.
The reforms, called Education 2.0, refer to a new education system grounded in skills-based and multidisciplinary learning that fully integrates digital tools, platforms, and competencies from grade 4. The reform includes curriculum redesign, teacher training, and digital transformation. It aims to update Egypt's education system, prepare youth for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of Egypt Vision 2030 and SDG4.
