The set of reforms “seek to replace the country’s traditional culture of rote, exam-driven memorization with one that promotes student-centred teaching and competency-based learning for life, alongside mastery of technology” for the twenty-first century.

THE MANY CHALLENGES
An over-crowded classroom. Al-Masry al-Youm (2017)
The education sector reforms are taking place within a context of a vast and growing school population of over 25 million K-12 students. Overcrowding, teacher shortages, and struggles over resources and political direction are compounded by a pervasive unregulated private lesson market (a shadow education system) with its own economy and system of rewards. Recent data show that ”only 19% of grade 4 students demonstrate foundational reading skills and 29% for math.” Despite many policy interventions, problems of inclusion and quality persist. The challenges to ‘transform’ the education system are tremendous and require ongoing research, imagination, bold interventions, long-term commitment, resources, and the collective efforts of all stakeholders.
