He added that 73,000 further classrooms, estimated at a cost of EGP 40 billion, need to be developed to reach an optimum ratio of students per class.

Earlier, the education, manpower, and planning ministries finalized a draft law that would establish a government authority to accredit institutions offering technical learning and training programs.
