Expansion in Enrollment Causes Controversy in Egypt

Ashraf Khaled at University World News is reporting on criticism of the recent expansion in enrollment of Egypt’s open education system. The expansion allows students who have just completed their secondary education to enroll, whereas previously they had to wait for a few years. From the article:

“The objective of easing conditions for applying to open education is to encourage students to complete their education and raise the quality of learning,” Helal said in press remarks. “Open education is still the most inexpensive and as such its expansion is not meant to generate profits.”
