Five-Year Japan-Inspired Engineering Diploma Launches This September

The Ministry of Education will launch a new five-year engineering diploma in September, modelled after Japan’s technical education system and supported by German and Japanese expertise. The programme will be piloted in 10 industrial secondary schools across the country.

The diploma blends academic study with hands-on technical training, aiming to modernise vocational education and make it more responsive to industry needs as part of a wider push to align Egypt’s education system with global standards.

Students will be admitted based on placement exams and aptitude tests in order to ensure a high standard of entry. Teachers have already received specialised training, and participating schools have been upgraded to support the new curriculum.
