Abstract

Development in general and the education sector in particular, as one of the pillars of economic development, is a major goal that all countries seek to improve their conditions. However, there are many major obstacles to development plans in all parts of the world, the most important of which is the increase in population numbers. It is expected that the number of Egypt residents will almost double by the year 2050. This poses enormous challenges in the field of education

Consequently, the problem of increasing population numbers, which in turn has been reflected in the education sector, has become one of the most important obstacles and pressing issues facing development programs in the world in general and Egypt in particular. The Egyptian government has resorted to developing a set of policies and programs to deal with this problem.

In this context, the Egyptian state has implemented many school construction projects in all governorates and new cities across the Republic, and specific amounts have been allocated for government spending in that sector. However, looking at the rates of government spending on the education sector, we find a clear change before and after the launch of Egypt’s Vision 2030. This is the question that arises about the reason for the change in spending rates and whether these schools performed the role required of them according to global trends and development plans, the most important of which is developing schools into community centers through their shared facilities, with a focus on supporting the physical environment for such activities.

As we show Ministry of Finance data showed an increase in government spending allocations for the education sector over 5 fiscal years, according to the data of the financial statement of the 2022-2023 draft budget after Egypt Vision 2030, which launched in February 2016 that reflects the state’s long-term strategic plan to achieve the principles and goals of sustainable development in all fields, and localize them in the various Egyptian state agencies

Therefore, the research study is directed at adopting a plan to enhance the societal role of schools and integrating their spaces to serve the surrounding community-community use. Rather, the plan extends to include serving the surrounding community, considering them a direct focus. For the development process and providing an integrated framework for these schools and enhancing their societal role in accordance with the global trends of development plans and Egypt’s Vision 2030.
