Cairo University Education Expert Questions Need for Secondary Exam Concept Booklet

Dr Assem Hegazy, an educational psychology professor at Cairo University, has questioned the justification for using a concept booklet in Egypt’s general secondary school examinations.

Hegazy, who teaches at the university’s Faculty of Graduate Studies for Education, said there was no justification for the booklet, citing several reasons for his position.

He described the booklet’s introduction as an “attempt,” but the available excerpt of his remarks does not explain what it was intended to achieve.

The excerpt also does not detail his objections or indicate whether he proposed an alternative. His comments concern the rationale for the booklet, rather than an announced change to examination arrangements.
