| dc.description.abstract | Our Arab society is rapidly evolving. Therefore, we are bound to develop educational institutes by re-adjusting the objectives of education, its curricula, as well as its methods, and by taking into consideration the fact that education is one of the inalienable rights of every individual his society is under obligation to fulfil, provided that this education is realistic, that it emanates from the needs of the nation, and that it pertains to actual life.
It is a fact requiring no elucidation that Arab consciousness yearly drives hordes of our children to attend school at various stages, and that their numbers are continually in the ascendant.
We, who inhabit the United Arab Republic, have a confirmed belief in planning in all fields. Planning, in the educational field, is compatible with the serious role, embodied in our responsibility for the formation of a new generation of self-confident citizens, who have faith in their future; a generation that is capable of carving its way through life with- out fear or hesitation. For this reason, we have designed our plan, and estimated our needs, in the light of our democratic, socialist, and co- operative society. This has necessitated our study of the developments of education in the past, to learn therefrom a lesson, so that we avoid pitfalls. We look forward to the future, as planned by our President Nasser, for our virile Republic. We have defined the objectives of our schools, institutes and universities, the establishment of which is necessary for the fulfilment of our social needs. We have also defined the standards we should attain to, in relation to each educational stage. The availability and distribution of educational services in the Plan base-year throughout the governorates of the Republic, were verified, and checked up, as well as analysed. Furthermore, we have considered the expansion the situation requires in every educational service, or in the development of its curricula. | en_US |
