Egypt targets 1,000 applied technology schools by 2030

Egypt’s government aims to bring the number of applied technology schools to 1,000 by 2030, Cabinet spokesperson Mohamed Adel said.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly discussed ways to achieve a qualitative shift in the country’s technical education system, according to the spokesperson.

The discussions focused on expanding the establishment of applied technology schools as a key part of that effort.

Strengthening partnerships with the private sector was also on the agenda, alongside the planned expansion of the school network.

The 2030 target sets out the scale of the government’s ambition for applied technology education, though the summary provided no details on the pace of construction or funding arrangements.
