Teacher Standards in Egypt after the 25th of January Revolution
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Education is mainly concerned with fostering as well as flourishing the skills, demanded by the job market. When education serves the needs of the job market, the economy of such a country will be revitalized. As a result, this society will be “dedicated not only to economic growth and material wealth but also to the pursuit of social justice” (p. 63). Hence, citizens‟ demands for humane goals will propagate drastic adjustments in the country‟s political regime. What is deduced from such a long, yet fruitful process is that educational amendments will significantly impact the economic structure. Having been resurrected, the economic growth will result in a more democratic society, free from racism, inequality, prejudice, stereotyping, and many other social stigmas. In case of Egypt, civilians desired the implementation of the previously mentioned process; thus, on the 25th of January 2011, a revolution erupted in El Tahrir square. Such a revolution had several fundamental aspirations, one of which was the amelioration of the education system. To further elaborate on the problems of education, schools “serv[ed] the interests of the elites, as reinforcing existing inequalities, and as producing attitudes that foster the acceptance of this status quo” (p. 69). In addition to the rigorous control of the elites on schools, parents‟ low socio-economic status obliged their children to be admitted to inferior, public schools that lacked facilities and resources. Furthermore, a huge part of the educational issues is related to teachers‟ performance or output in class. Eventually, setting and monitoring standards in relation to learning environments, instructional strategies, and learning differences will not only ensure the highest learning outcome but also ignite teachers‟ output. Proposing teacher standards to be implemented in Egypt and suggesting a method of follow-up are the two main purposes of this paper. .
