Egypt is turning to the Japanese model in education to reform the school system, which has been suffering for years from government neglect.
The Egyptian Education Ministry said it had applied the Japanese “Tokubetsu Katsudo (Tokkatsu)” whole child education model in 12 Egyptian schools and would be applying the model in 100 others. The ministry also said it would establish 100 new Egyptian-Japanese schools, which will be completed in the coming academic year.
