مشاركة الاتحاد في انشطه الدوره 48من الية الاستعراض الدوري الشامل

The Egyptian Union for Educational Policies and Research values the participation of its members, representing the Egyptian Foundation for Refugee Rights and the Egyptians Without Borders Foundation for Development, in the activities of the 48th session of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights.

During this session, Egypt presented its national report. Notably, a large number of the participating countries submitted recommendations emphasizing the need to strengthen efforts to promote economic, social, and cultural rights — particularly the right to education.

Most of the recommendations focused on the importance of taking necessary measures to ensure a safe learning environment and to guarantee access to quality, sustainable education for vulnerable groups (including girls, persons with disabilities, and refugees). In addition, several recommendations highlighted the importance of adopting appropriate legislative measures to prevent violence against children both within families and in school environments. Other recommendations also called for the implementation of non-discriminatory education and the provision of adequate resources to ensure quality education for all, especially at the pre-university level.

Accordingly, the Egyptian Union for Educational Policies and Research reaffirms its full support for all these recommendations. It also reiterates its commitment to continue playing an active role in facilitating constructive policy dialogue with the government to support the implementation of all interventions that ensure the fulfillment of national obligations and commitments related to the right to inclusive, equitable, and quality education.

This aligns with the Egyptian Ministry of Education’s announcement of its National Strategic Plan for Education 2024–2029, which the ministry has affirmed was developed based on the principle of participatory planning. The process included all ministry entities, educators, students, development partners, and the private sector to ensure the plan’s coherence and integration with global, regional, and national strategies.

The Egyptian Union for Educational Policies and Research also emphasizes its recommendation for the publication and wide dissemination of the Strategic Education Plan and its sharing with all relevant stakeholders, in order to develop effective intervention frameworks to achieve its objectives and to facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of its various phases — in line with the principles of accountability and constructive partnership.
