The importance of education in a developing country like Egypt is obvious. Education has been the entry point to progress and prosperity in the countries that have changed their status and counted among the advanced ones, and is,therefore,the potential solution for any nation seeking to achieve the breakthrough from a developing to an industrial nation. Education has been nationally recognized as a pivotal factor in Egypt s social and economic development.This study has been organized to examine patterns and dynamics of the pre university education in Egypt,from a developmental and demographic perspective. The subject is important enough to warrant increasing attention from researchers, planners, and policy makers. Preuniversity education represents the very foundation of the educational system in the country,and consumes most of the educational budget; and,thus,deserves detailed examination.The work is, also,deemed to be illustrative while handling the different educational models and techniques utilized, so that other researchers can apply them properly and efficiently using data of coming periods of time for comparison purposes.
