Hossam Badrawi: I went to the poorest schools in the villages and found children using technology

Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nile Badrawi Foundation for Education and Development, confirmed; Sustainability is the basis of the problems facing Egypt. We must build a vision for the development of education that will continue no matter how people change. Previously, every new Minister of Education presented a new vision about the one that preceded him, and this is one of the biggest mistakes we have made.

Hossam Badrawi added during his speech at the Fifth International Conference on Quality of Education and Accreditation: “We cannot stay in the 21st century and education cannot be digital. Exams must be technological, and we must have the courage that a teacher who is not technologically qualified does not enter the classroom.”

Dr. Hossam Badrawi pointed out that any educational development axes that were used in the 20th century will not succeed in the 21st century, due to the terrible change we are going through, as children are now born “digital”, stressing that 70% of today’s jobs will be celebrated during the next 10 years.

Hossam Badrawi confirmed that he visited schools in the villages of Egypt and the poor, and the children use technology and the problem is us, stressing that the vision presented by the Ministry of Education in developing education and the development project is very important that we must stand behind, stressing that we must keep pace with the rapid developments in the development of education in many Among the countries of the world, and in any system that cannot exceed the level of the teacher, and the ceiling is the teacher, and there is no such thing as a child who is disappointed. The system is disappointed.

Hossam Badrawi explained that education is responsible for building the minds of young people and the skills of the 21st century that must be available in young people must be in digital and digital form, pointing out that the establishment of an observatory in the institution he heads to implement Egypt’s Vision 2030 in developing education, stressing that the state is responsible for Education and we must use technology.

Hossam Badrawi stressed that the world is running and we must run with it, and for 5 years, cars will not walk on the ground and trains will move at the speed of a rocket, stressing that technology allows us to move with others and we do not have a problem in education, but our problem is in the management of education and what the Ministry of Education and Technical Education offers. And support him, and there are many people who will be against him, but the community must be convinced of the vision presented

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
