EXCELLENCE +QUALITY

OLD VS NEW
Mai, my professional colleague from Egypt, has englighten me withwith execellence and quality and how it became such a importants to so many women.In ancient Egypt, boys from wealthy families started school at the age of four. Before a child started his first year of school, his father decided what his son's occupation would be in the future. Egyptians were very practical, so kids at schools were taught only the subjects that would be at schools were taught only the subjects that would be useful in their career. The only boys who were taught mathematics were the ones that were going to be tax collectors. As time went on the schools in Egypt has change and young girls were able to participate in education. To many, Egypt men this is considered a honor to educate your daughters before marriage.
 
 As time moved on young girls were accept to receive education and to work out of homes. Many earned professional jobs and became doctors and lawyers and teachers. Mia Hany who is my contact in Egypt explain that excellence and quality, is based on thier performance and which regime is in power. They do not have  Tearcher union and protest can cause their life. Durning time of the protest hundreds of teachers were fired and transferred during the pro-democracy demonstrations, and the union is seeking their reinstatement.Teacher salaries in Egypt are abysmally low. Public school teachers are among the least paid civil servants in Egypt and still they are blamed for all the corrupting in the educational system.  Many tearchers privatley tutor other students after school becuase our class have more than 40 student and their no such thing and as aid in public schools. Most of the children have a private tutor or go to British or American Schools where their parents can afford for private lesson but those parent who can not afford the private lesson. Many teacher tutor for free. The government still state that Egyptian Teachers are the blame for the over size classes and run-down schools. Tearchers protesting and asking for more money and better schools. Mia, discuss that quality and excellence is so complex in Egypt future and was so well plan in it past.

EXCELLENCE:


Mia, quoted my word excellence as a word of the past vs the future. In Egypt there are many schools American schools and British schools, French school and many more. The richer you are the more private of a school your childlren will attend. In Egypt education is based on quality of life style you live. How much money you make every year. many tearcher would love to further their education but finances is a huge problem in Egypt future. Mia was very lucky to finish her Early childhood master program on-line and her school were she works at paid for it. In many other cases their is no extra money from the government or teachers who can barely survive with their salary. this is called Egypt future.Where their past was filled with encouragement and a very rich economy and no worries for their future.

  1. I enjoyed reading your post and love your information you provided. I like what Mia, quoted my word excellence as a word of the past vs the future. That's so true and I am so happy she was able to finish her education online and be successful. sometimes its very hard to finish our education. It took me 10 years to go back to school but I am happy that I'm pursing my Master's degree. Great post!
