The research describes contemporary educational system existing in the Arab Republic of Egypt against a background of its history, economical, social and demographical situation, and its legislative foundations. Egypt's educational traditions come from colonial times and Islamic sources. The contemporary Egyptian educational system consists of three levels: primary, sec-ondary and tertiary education. It is compatible with the European system of education and alt-hough it still needs some improvement, it is constantly developing. Apart from governmental educational institutions, there is a private sector of schooling as well. Besides state and non-state schools, there are other forms of supplementary education, e.g. adult or non-formal education directed at children remaining beyond any official schooling system etc. The data is also presented in the form of graphs included herewith.
