For teachers, however, training is not the issue. Many are not motivated to exert extra effort and improvise in class because of the low salaries they receive. We, the teachers, mould generations to be good citizens, and yet we are the most underpaid of all professionals. Teachers should be paid more money so they are motivated to teach. But there are other elements involved if the educational system is to be upgraded.
Many schools are still poorly equipped and overcrowded.
In Egypt, however, the average number of those enrolled in one class is 30, and in public schools there are often more than twice that. Equally important is that many state-run schools still need to be equipped with basic educational facilities. If they do not have the materials to create with, if there is no library, if they do not have windows, then they will hate going to school. Provide children with opportunities to learn in a variety of ways. Provide opportunities for parents to be involved in the life of the school in a variety of ways.
