In Egypt, the high unemployment rate (13.37% in 2014) and the disparity between urban and rural areas are serious due to the entry of young people into the labor market as a result of population growth, and measures in a wide range of areas, including education, are needed to improve these conditions. Under these circumstances, in the education sector, the government of Japan has focused on Japanese-style education (special activities: school events that foster discipline, ethics, and cooperation, cleaning, emotional education, etc.) and requested Japan’s cooperation in order to shift from knowledge-oriented and theory-based learning to learning aimed at acquiring life skills such as problem solving, cooperation, and self-management skills. We requested Japan’s cooperation. In response to this request, Japan implemented the “Environment Improvement Project for Enhancing the Quality of Learning” (“Prior Project”) from February 2017, introducing activities such as special activities, Japanese school management and classroom management methods, and learning through play, which are elements of Japanese-style education, to public schools in Egypt to create a model of holistic education and The project supported capacity building of educational administrators and others to promote holistic education. This cooperation will contribute to the dissemination of the holistic education model developed in the previous project and to the improvement of children’s learning by strengthening the framework and system for the sustainable implementation of the model, thereby promoting the model to general schools.
