Since the downfall of the Egyptian educational system in 1980 , the system has been study to earn grades ... earn grades because only the grade you get on your certificate is the only thing that will get you a job and it will define which college you will enter and it will maybe according to some till the rise of the Private Universities meant his/her life.
But we all forgot to answer the simple question that has been wandering around for the last 30 years ... what is the implication of letting this corrupt idea of studying to evolve in the educational system. what effects will it has on the students , let alone their idea of education. When someone gets used to doing something one way it is really hard to change his way , try to Quit any habit you do and see how hard it is , even if it is a bad habit.
30 years of Memorizing how the exam will come , and how to answer the question and not learning to be able to answer whatever question related to what you have studied even if you didn't see that sort of question before. Memorizing instead of understanding , having stupid syllabuses that make the students unenthusiastic to learn from the first place .
Uneducated teachers teaching the students in unprofessional way not understanding that the techniques in which you deliver an information is what defines a teacher.

I'd like to add something, I was an IGCSE student, the syllabus and exams are made in the UK so it's supposed to be a way to run from our horrible education system for 3 years.
ReplyDeleteBut to my surprise, our teachers have found a way to teach IG courses as if they're Thanaweyya Amma (we are geniuses in figuring out new ways to memorize O_O), and they make us solve ALL previous exams of that course (sometimes went back as far as early 90s!), so whatever exam they try to make, almost all the questions will have to look like a question from a previous exam, and so stupidity wins :S
That's actually a disappointing shock for me to hear this .... it seems that Every educational system introduced to Egypt is failing because Egyptians add their touch to it :-(
