Egypt adds 98,000 classrooms to public schools, aiming to ease overcrowding and enhance student learning experiences.
Egypt’s government has added 98,000 new classrooms to public schools, a major move to ease overcrowding in the education sector.
The announcement was made by Minister of Education Reda Hegazy, who revealed that the effort reduced class sizes to below 50 students in most schools.
The classroom expansion is part of Egypt’s broader strategy to improve education quality and student outcomes.
Overcrowding has long plagued the public school system, affecting both teaching and learning standards.
The Ministry confirmed that the new classrooms were built across various governorates to meet rising demand and accommodate a growing student population.
This initiative also aligns with Egypt’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes educational reform as a national priority.
By tackling class congestion, the government hopes to improve teacher-student interaction and create a more supportive learning environment.
Education experts say this step is essential for raising literacy levels and academic performance across the country.
