الملخص EN

The paper discusses Egypt public education financing options to meet the increasing demand for education services in the coming period.

It is believed that modern and diversified financing forms in education is a key element in creating internal competition that allows improving its governance and curricula, which helps improving education outcomes in line with the Egypt’s 2030 vision.

Having documented the most challenging problems facing Egyptian education notably regarding the enrollment rate in the primary school and in rural areas, the paper suggests two main tracks for financing education.

The first counts on the expansion of public private partnership through privatization and using different forms of collective financing, under transparent legislative and procedural rules making investing in education attractive within the required quality standards.

The second counts on improving government expenditure efficiency by using activity based costing, resources reallocation between the different education stages, the expansion of decentralization practices and finally by developing productive educational institutions and distance learning programs.
