Dr. Hossam Badrawi attends a seminar entitled “Education in Egypt: Where to?” at the headquarters of the Conference Party

At the invitation of Prof. Dr. Magdy Morshed, Vice President of the Conference Party and Head of the Executive Office, Dr. Hossam Badrawy participated yesterday, Monday, November 18, 2024, at the headquarters of the Conference Party, as the main speaker in an interesting symposium entitled “Education in Egypt, Where to?” where Prof. Dr. Moataz Khorshid, former Minister of Higher Education, and Prof. Dr. Magdy Morshed, Professor of Ophthalmology at the Faculty of Medicine and former Head of the Health Committee in the House of Representatives, shared the dialogue platform with Dr. Badrawy, where more than 13 political parties and many prominent figures, professors and specialists in the field of education participated in the symposium. Dr. Badrawy’s speech was as follows: He began by talking about the axes of Egypt’s Vision 2030 and its goals, where he began by providing and the necessity for educational institutions and governorates to be managed in a decentralized manner, and he gave an example of the governors in the governorates, so that each governor can stand on many statistics and measurements of reality that enable him to limit the needs of his governorate today and up to five years, which shows the reality of the challenges and supports the state’s capabilities to develop scientific strategies to overcome and overcome them. Then he pointed out that we realize the extent of what we suffer From a shortage of teachers and a scarcity in some specializations, and yet we continue to marginalize the colleges of education, which could be the radical solution to this crisis. If we can advance these colleges and adjust their course, we will certainly witness a solution to the problem of teacher scarcity. Dr. Badrawi then pointed out the necessity for all officials and those concerned with the issue of education to be aware of the country’s vision and for the efforts made to be collected within the framework of that vision. Dr. Badrawi then moved on to the form of education in the future, noting that the life cycle that used to take thousands and hundreds of years has now taken two years or less. Are we ready to keep up with this pace?? Many jobs will disappear and many new jobs will emerge. Therefore, we must think about what we must do towards our students who have been subject to education in our national institutions for nearly fifteen years, and we must remember that educational institutions in this form only appeared 250 years ago, and there were many more philosophers and scientists outside this current traditional form. Dr. Badrawi then concluded his speech with exceptional approval and welcome from the attendees

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
