Hossam Badrawi<\/div>\n
in AUC<\/div>\n
Under the title “The Philosophy of Education ,” Dr. Hossam Badrawi gave an interesting lecture & participated in a discussion panel on September 30, 2024, held at the Oriental Hall of the American University, at the invitation of the Center for Alternative Political Solutions.<\/div>\n
The panel focused on the philosophy of education and its primary purpose: building human beings or preparing them for the labor market. The session was moderated by Dr. Soheir Abdel Aaty, head of the Center for Alternative Political Solutions, and also featured Dr. Badrawi as the main speaker & Dr. Kamal Moghith, an educational expert from the National Center for Educational Research as co speaker .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi began by reviewing the evolution of the philosophy of education over the ages, starting with Plato and the idealist philosophy, which aims to develop intellectual and moral qualities. In this philosophy, the teacher serves as a role model, guide, and motivator for discovering truths and promoting critical thinking.<\/div>\n
He then moved on to the \u201cRealist\u201d philosophy of Aristotle, which believes that the material world is the true reality, discoverable only through sensory experiences. In this context, the student learns objective truths, and the teacher’s role is to transmit material knowledge through observation, classification, and scientific analysis.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He also discussed Pragmatism Philosophy championed by John Dewey, which is sometimes called the philosophy of action. In Pragmatism, facts and knowledge are dynamic and constantly evolving. The teacher’s role is to facilitate skill development, critical thinking, and problem-solving, rather than merely transmitting knowledge. Existentialism philosophy , represented by figures like Jean-Paul Sartre, aims to build character, define life\u2019s meaning, and foster creativity and independence. In existentialism, the teacher creates an environment where students can make their own decisions, explore their interests, and embrace self-reflection and creativity.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi noted that presenting these philosophies was crucial for understanding the nature and goals of education and how it must evolve in line with progress; otherwise, it risks losing its essence. He explained how the role of the teacher has changed and continues to change with the development of these philosophies, emphasising the necessity for the teacher’s role to evolve in light of modern developments.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He added that these philosophies still form the foundational theoretical framework of modern education but have been adapted to suit contemporary education, which is characterized by globalization, technological advancement, and increasing social and cultural diversity. Idealism now seeks to develop critical thinking and moral understanding through curricula that engage students with major issues and deep ideas in philosophy and the humanities. Realism has become more interactive in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and logical thinking. Pragmatism has gained importance through project-based and experiential learning, while existentialism promotes student autonomy, decision-making, and the ability to chart their educational paths.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi also mentioned the emergence of new educational philosophies, such as Constructivism, which encourages students to build their own knowledge rather than passively receive it from teachers, and critical Pedagogy, which aims to make students agents of social change by analyzing social, political, and economic systems. Teachers in this philosophy inspire critical thinking on issues affecting human rights and society. Technological philosophy, which relies on digital platforms and virtual reality, has reshaped the student-teacher relationship, based on new realities that did not exist before. Finally, the philosophy of globalization has made the world a single place where cultures meet, fostering global values that promote understanding, tolerance, and cultural diversity.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi then presented examples of the modern challenges facing educational philosophy, such as the value of schools and teachers at a time when all information is readily available to everyone, and how educational philosophy has evolved to support the concept of lifelong learning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He then transitioned to the philosophy of higher education, discussing the university’s role in offering the unexpected to societies, driving innovation, and fighting for change. Universities need to proliferate, spread, and evolve.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi summarized the university\u2019s functions as contributing to societal well-being by preparing students for the future, equipping them with skills for progress, and enhancing their research and innovation capabilities.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Universities explore knowledge, perspectives, and meanings and question assumptions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He stated that universities are built on two pillars: one that shifts from focusing on immediate existence (well-being needs) to the new reality (the pursuit of truth) and the other that moves from opposition (the critical side) to agreement (commitment to contributing to social productivity).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi stressed the need for academic freedom for universities to play their role in cultural advancement and modernization, as well as institutional independence, enabling them to set their own vision, determine their obligations, and make the best use of their resources without neglecting accountability.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Badrawi concluded his speech with a quote from Dr. Taha Hussein:<\/div>\n
“The university does not just produce scholars; it creates cultured, civilized individuals. It is not enough for them to be cultured; they must also be sources of culture. Nor is it enough for them to be civilized; they must also contribute to civilization.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If the university falls short in achieving one of these two qualities, it is unworthy of being called a university. It becomes just another modest school among many, failing to be a beacon of light for the country it serves and the humanity it strives for. Instead, it becomes a mere factory, producing a group of workers with limited hopes and limited capacity for good and reform.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr Badrawi\u2019s paintings that accompanied his slide presentation amazed attendees , as he finished saying gaining knowledge & new skills should be a life time request for all of us to live happily and serve ourselves, families & society.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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.

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","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12098,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12096\/revisions\/12098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
