Quality Assurance of Pre-university Education in Egypt and France (A Comparative Study)

The Current Study aimed to Develop the Egyptian Pre-university Education Quality Assurance System in Light of French Experience in this Field, and in A Way that is Compatible with the Circumstances and Culture of Egyptian Society, and to conduct A Comparative Analytical Study between the two Countries in this Field, and to present a Proposed Vision for Developing the Pre-university Education Quality Assurance System in Egypt in Light of French Experience.
The Problem of the Study was identified in an Attempt to reveal the Features of the System for Quality Assurance of Pre-university Education in both Egypt and France in order to make A Comparison between the Two Systems, and to come up with A Proposed Vision for Developing the System of Quality Assurance of Pre-university Education in Egypt in Light of the French Experience, that suits the circumstances of Egyptian society.
The Study used the Problem-solving Approach in Comparative Studies by Brian Holmes, which is compatible with the Nature and Objectives of the Study. It reached A Set of Results, the most Important of which are:

The Process of Quality Assurance of Pre-university Education is a Global Trend that all Countries of the World, both developed and developing, seek to achieve.
