The educational system in Egypt(final draft)
Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its amassed knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.
The systems of formal education are: preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education.
Primary (or elementary) education consists of the first 5–7 years of formal, structured education. In general, primary education consists of six or eight years of schooling starting at the age of five or six, although this varies between, and sometimes within, countries. Globally, around 89% of primary-age children are enrolled in primary education, and this proportion is rising.
In most contemporary educational systems of the world, secondary education comprises the formal education that occurs during adolescence.
Higher education includes teaching, research and social services activities of universities, and within the realm of teaching, it includes both the undergraduate level and the graduate (or postgraduate) level. Higher education generally involves work towards a degree-level or foundation degree qualification.
Egypt is facing serious problems in education-problems compounded by low literacy rates and an exploding population. Educational quality, particularly in basic education and in technical and vocational education, had seriously declined. Learning, conducted with martial drills and physical punishment, encouraged rote memorization rather than critical thinking.
To solve these problems, the Ministry of Education should prevent teachers from using physical punishment with student. The curriculum must be clear and well-organized. Parents also should be aware that they have a great deal in teaching their children.
Finally, education is an important thing for our society to be safe. So, we must cooperate to improve it.

Immigration(Final draft)
Immigration seems to be making more headlines in recent years.As the world globalizes in terms of nations'economies ,trade and investment,borders are opened up more easily for flow of goods and products.People are supposedly freer to move around the world ,too.
But why do people immigrate?.People immigrate from one country to another for a variety of complex reasons. Some are forced to move ,due to conflict,while others may voluntarily emigrate.From another perspective ,immigration can also represent an act of courage.For example the hidden loneliness to be suffered is not always easy to overcome. Immigration can have positive and negative impacts on both the host country ,and the original country.
The host country is usually an industrialized country in Western Europe,or the United States.For these countries,immigrants offer various benefits such as the following:Immigrants will often do jobs that people in the host country will not ,or cannot do;migrant workers often work longer hours and for lower salaries.
As immigration became a global issue ,there are different opinions about it.There is an opinion sees that immigration provide youth with the opportunity to succeed.There is another opinion which is against immigration,they ask youth to try to find any job but in the homeland.Iam with the second opinion ,as I think it will be too difficult for immigrants to find a good job there.And if they found ,it will be with little money.
To sum up,immigration has been and always will be a controversial area of discussion .And the government should try to reduce it.
