Minister of Education Tarek Shawky received fierce criticism from his fellow MPs during the House of Representatives general session on Monday, over the semester delay of the Egyptian-Japanese schools. The Education Ministry announced last week postponement of the school year until all the Egyptian-Japanese schools were completed and furnished. Shawky was summoned to the parliament after 40 Early Day Motions were submitted on education and schools problems. Both parties agreed the current education system is hard to fix, and the plan should start from scratch in 2018. He added that follwing the current education system with the remaining budget could be easy, but he had chose the harder route, to change it.
