It is a question that deserves to receive a great deal of attention from researchers in educational affairs. Because the chronic educational crisis that Egypt is suffering from, due to the increasing demand for education and the lack of capabilities to meet that demand, has distracted minds from quality, and diverted them to concern with quantity alone. Paying attention to quantity is a must, there is no doubt about that, especially in the primary education stage. But we must not go so far as to seriously neglect quality, as happened when the crisis prompted some thinkers to demand that measures be taken to create sufficient school places for all those who wish to learn at any stage.
