The Egyptian Ministry of Education and Technical Education has announced the school fees for the 2026-2027 academic year for students in official schools. As the new academic year begins, parents are required to pay these fees in installments. The ministry has specified that fees will be paid in two installments, with values differing according to the student's educational stage. This payment process aims to facilitate financial management for families.

For students in kindergarten through junior high school, the first installment is 255 Egyptian pounds, and the second is 65 pounds. Students in the first year of high school will pay 430 pounds for the first installment and 115 pounds for the second. Those in the second and third years of high school will pay 415 pounds and 115 pounds, respectively, for the two installments. These fees are mandatory for all students in official schools.

The ministry has also set fees for students in technical and vocational education. First-year students in these programs will pay 200 pounds for the first installment and 45 pounds for the second. Students in subsequent years of technical education will pay 185 pounds for the first installment and 45 pounds for the second. These fees support the maintenance and development of educational facilities.

The payment of school fees will be conducted through electronic collection channels and post offices nationwide. Parents can use their child's national ID or student code to make payments. This electronic system aims to streamline the payment process, making it more efficient and convenient for parents.

The Ministry of Education emphasizes that all payments must be made through official channels to ensure transparency and accountability. The fees collected will be channeled into the Support and Financing of Educational Projects Fund, which is responsible for managing and constructing educational facilities. This fund plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education in Egypt.

Parents and students are advised to adhere to the payment schedule to avoid any disruptions in the educational process. The Ministry of Education is committed to providing quality education and ensuring that all students have access to necessary resources. By paying school fees on time, parents contribute to the overall development of the education sector.

The payment process for school fees is a critical aspect of the academic year in Egypt's official schools. By following the outlined steps and deadlines, parents can ensure that their children are enrolled and able to continue their education without interruption. The Ministry of Education continues to work towards enhancing the educational experience for all students.
