The above has resulted in countries formulating future visions and alternative scenarios for teaching and learning policies required to keep pace with these recent changes, which can be crystallized in key directions related to the objectives of "availability, quality, equal opportunities and learning sustainability" representing the desired educational characteristics.
Since the Corona pandemic, the Egyptian Ministry of Education has taken a series of measures in the field of education, so as not to stop studying and waste the school year on its students - although this is what many other countries have done - including the expansion of e-learning mechanisms and platforms after the invitation of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during many and long meetings with Education Minister Tarek Shawky.

The expansion of the use of e-learning applications and the teaching methods, with the evaluation of the results with the experience of the Corona pandemic, and the imposed use of modern communication platforms and the use of technology to promote the educational process, with the aim of supporting the state's efforts to make a qualitative shift in the education system, has been Last year, the high school exams were fine with about one and a half million students and half a million educational staff, taking into account the careful and integrated precautionary measures taken by the government, which included providing preventive supplies to students and observers, Organizing the process of entering and exiting students from committees, applying social spacing within them, and daily sterilization of committees before and after examinations.
Egypt aspires to repeat this experience with its high school children and university students this year, despite the spread of the third wave of Corona.
