The Nile Bedrawi Foundation for Education and Development Holds a Workshop to Discuss Mechanisms for Achieving Egypt’s Vision 2030 in the Education Sector

As part of the activities of the “Gosour Initiative” in Ismailia, the Nile Bedrawi Foundation for Education and Development—one of the initiative’s key partners and whose Board of Directors is chaired by Professor Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Head of the Initiative’s Advisory Committee—held a workshop titled:
“Discussion of Mechanisms and Forms for Monitoring and Measuring the Achievement of Egypt’s Vision 2030 in the Education Sector.”

These mechanisms are directly linked to data sourced mainly from schools, educational administrations, and the directorate, and provide direct answers to a very large number of Vision 2030 indicators.

The workshop targeted:
• All directors of educational administrations
• All deputy directors
• All heads of statistics and information departments in the educational administrations
• The Director of the Statistics and Information Department at the Directorate

All invitees attended at a 100% participation rate with no absences.

The proposed forms were presented for all educational stages, discussed, and adjusted based on feedback from the participants. The workshop was led by Mr. Tharwat Abdel Aziz, Executive Director of the Nile Bedrawi Observatory and the academic director of the initiative.

It is worth noting that several discussion sessions, workshops, and visits to the university and various government bodies will follow, in preparation for the concluding conference of the initiative’s activities, which is planned for the second week of the mid-year vacation.

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
