Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education has announced the launch of electronically developed curricula for multiple subjects across all educational levels.
This initiative aims to modernise learning and improve access to academic materials for students, teachers, and parents via an e-book portal.
The ministry revealed that updated curricula now available digitally include Arabic language (from kindergarten to second year of middle school), Religious Education (Islamic and Christian, from first grade primary to second year middle school), Social Studies (fourth to sixth primary grades and second year middle school), English (from kindergarten to high school), Science (second year middle school), and Mathematics (second year middle school).
Additional developed textbooks will be progressively published on the official portal, providing broad access to quality resources.
Significantly, the ministry also announced the forthcoming release of a first-grade mathematics textbook developed in partnership with Japan. This groundbreaking collaboration aligns with Japan’s renowned education system, which focuses on building strong mathematical foundations through simplified content and skill development.
The ministry expressed gratitude to Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and the Egyptian Church for their invaluable contributions in revising Religious Education curricula, emphasising the promotion of moral and human values among students. It also praised national and international curriculum experts, university professors, and educational institutions involved in the development process.
Teacher training has already been completed for the enhanced Arabic language curriculum, delivered via video conference for kindergarten through sixth grade. Training sessions for Social Studies have begun, with English language training scheduled to follow soon.
In a first for Egypt, printed assessment books covering all subjects will be distributed free of charge this year, aiming to reduce the burden on teachers and parents, according to feedback from the education sector.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to fostering an engaging educational environment that nurtures critical and creative thinking, in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the evolving needs of the nation’s new republic.
