Egypt’s Qalyubia Education Directorate has laid out comprehensive plans to ensure a smooth start to the 2025-2026 academic year, with particular emphasis on implementing the Egyptian Baccalaureate system.
Mustafa Abdo, Director of the Qalyubia Education Directorate, convened a meeting with education department directors and Diwan leadership to discuss the governorate’s readiness.
The session, held under the patronage of Minister of Education and Technical Education Mohamed Abdel Latif and Qalyubia Governor Eng. Ayman Attia, focused on student enrollment, infrastructure, and administrative coordination.
Abdo welcomed attendees, highlighting the importance of collaboration to achieve optimal results for the new academic year. “Meetings such as this are crucial to ensuring the successful rollout of educational initiatives and maintaining high standards across our schools,” he said.
Central to the discussion was the Egyptian Baccalaureate system. Abdo instructed schools to accurately register all students entering the first year of secondary school under the new system and submit daily enrollment reports to the secondary education department. He also called for awareness campaigns to inform parents and students about the opportunities provided by the system, including university admission prospects and reduced academic pressures.
Addressing student overcrowding, Abdo urged schools to eliminate evening shifts wherever possible and prepare detailed reports on student distribution across all educational levels. He confirmed that textbooks had been delivered ahead of the school year and that tuition fees would be collected in accordance with Ministerial Resolution No. 156.
The directorate emphasized adherence to the unified school uniform policy while allowing parents freedom in purchasing. Additionally, schools were instructed to record student attendance electronically and provide regular updates to the Ministry of Education.
Infrastructure preparations were also highlighted, with minor maintenance, painting, landscaping, and the delivery of new desks completed before the school year began.
Concluding the meeting, Abdo stressed the importance of swift implementation and periodic reporting on all agreed measures, affirming that Qalyubia schools were fully prepared to welcome students. “Our priority is to ensure that every student begins the year in a safe, well-resourced, and supportive learning environment,” he said.
The governorate’s proactive approach underscores Egypt’s commitment to modernizing education and improving outcomes as the Egyptian Baccalaureate system is fully integrated nationwide.
