Over 50 Egyptian-Japanese Schools to Be Built Across Egypt

The Ministry of Education has announced that they will increase the number of Egyptian-Japanese schools in Egypt from 48 to over 100.

Egyptian-Japanese schools have grabbed the attention of many since launching in 2017. These schools mainly focus on Egyptian curricula, but adopt a Japanese teaching ethos called Tokkatsu that encourages independent learning, with a focus on developing self-confidence and teamwork in classrooms of no more than 40 students.

The current crop of Japanese schools can be found in 25 of Egypt’s 27 governorates, including the most recently-opened school in North Sinai's Arish.

The ministry also just finished renovating 37,000 schools nationwide, with plans to scale up construction and build even more during the next fiscal year.
