Dr. Badrawi talks about the future of knowledge in Egypt and the world

At the invitation of the Social Committee of the Village of Diplomats on the North Coast, a symposium was held in the village’s social club, at the invitation of Mr. Mounir Abdel Nour, former Minister of Industry, Dr. They were headed by Ambassador Moushira Khattab, President of the National Council for Human Rights, Dr. Hossam spoke. On the future of knowledge in Egypt and the world, and on the difference between education and its traditional framework and learning and knowledge in a broader framework.

Dr. spoke. Hossam for departing from the stereotypical education that lagged behind the development of industry and technology and became unqualified to map the future of knowledge in its current form…..

The attendees asked him about the most important skills that young people need to work now and in the future?

He said: The three most important skills currently required in the labor market are: the ability to work in teams, communication and communication skills, and the ability to adapt to change.

In addition to them, the leadership skills that many jobs need at multiple levels..and of course this is in addition to digital skills, computer use, and knowledge of a second language besides Arabic.

And when one of the attendees raised that, of course, this is outside the scope of specializations such as medicine, engineering, law, military colleges, and practical colleges!

d said Hossam, these skills are needed by doctors, engineers, lawyers, officers, teachers and all disciplines. There is no place in the workplace today and certainly in the future for those who do not possess them.

d said. Hossam, no matter how much we repeat our efforts that we have been doing for years, the situation will not be fixed because we are repeating the same thing while waiting for different results, and the issue is not in the amount of spending, but rather in the philosophy of learning……. The issue is that the conscience of children and youth is being built. By living together, establishing normal human values, practicing the arts, especially music, sports competition, working as a team, and differentiating between the capabilities of students at every age stage… Vertical reform must be carried out in a critical size of the population in places that the state determines competitively so that growth can be measurable and repeated.
impact d. Hussam drew the attention of those present that most of those who influenced humanity did not enter schools, and that the school model that we insist on began in the eighteenth century and is still solid in its place despite the development of industry, agriculture and life around it.
Our children and youth stand on the same stage with their peers in the rest of the civilized world, and what hinders them is our generation and those who preceded us who want them to be copies of them….Knowing that the origin of schools at the beginning of their inception was to teach religion and to prepare armies, and the two goals of their philosophy is obedience to those in authority… And now we are talking about Realization of reason, disagreement in opinion, and the lack of a single answer. If the student does not answer it, he fails the exam.
When the attendees asked him about the exams, he said:
In fact, success in exams is an indication of the success of the teacher, not the student, because all pupils and students have the ability to succeed if they are taught well.
Student calendar criteria must be met:
Validity means that the exam actually measures what is required to be measured.
– Reliability, that is, the exam gives the same results to students if it is corrected by different correctors.
Justice, fairness and equal opportunity for all examinees.

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
