Egypt Warns Homeschooling Illegal, Threatens Legal Action Against Unlicensed Academies

Egypt's Ministry of Education has confirmed that the homeschooling system is illegal and warned of legal action against schools and entities promoting it.

• The Ministry of Education stated that no licenses have been issued for homeschooling and that all licensed schools must follow official educational systems.
• The Ministry warned that any school found promoting or circumventing regulations through homeschooling will face legal accountability.
• Parent Sara Emad told Sky News Arabia that an academy enrolled her son in an international school without requiring attendance, collected fees for eight months, and her son remained unregistered.
• Expert Tamer Shawky said unlicensed academies operate across Egypt, enrolling students formally in international schools while they attend parallel classes elsewhere.
