Egypt announces 2026/2027 school year start
The 2026/2027 academic year in Egypt began on Saturday, September 12, 2026, for official, private, and language schools, while international schools started their academic sessions a week earlier, on September 6, 2026. The Ministry of Education increased the number of school days to 183, a noticeable rise from the previous year, aiming to improve the quality of education and better accommodate the curriculum. Additionally, a new system for the Egyptian Baccalaureate has been introduced, requiring students to achieve a minimum of 60% in performances and assessments. The system features a unified exam format that includes multiple-choice questions and essays, allowing students to take exams twice a year to strengthen performance evaluation and achieve better results. The ministry is focusing on teacher training, curriculum development, and enhancing fundamental skills, especially in reading and writing. The Minister delivered a firm message: there should be no student in schools who cannot read and write.
