The GSC

Friday usually the streets are crowded but today there wasn't any crowded streets ,a strange thing for sure ,it only happens in Eid or in Ramadan before the breakfast by 5 minutes

where are the people ?? I asked myself , yet I remember tomorrow Saturday is the big day , the scariest day,the day the  general secondary certificate exams will start , the third stage of the general secondary stage "don't even ask about that silly name" will begin across the country

Thousands of students will start their dangerous journey of exams with Arabic , a journey its end can help in determining their future , I said can help determining because I still think this silly education system is not the only determinant of the future in Egypt ,there are other factors

The secondary stage in Egypt is a very expensive stage , hundreds of millions of Egyptian pounds are spent by families that work very hard in order to see their children successful. Usually these hundreds of millions are spent on the private lessons/special tutors !!

This stage breaks nerves and bank accounts for sure , there is no way to escape from it for most Egyptians ,except those who are capable to afford foreign education system whether the I.G.E.C.S or the American diploma and usually those people don't go for public university but private national universities

In every family there must be one in the GSC ,already we got one ,my cousin , but she is in the first stage of GSC , the second year in Secondary stage , literature just like me , she will start on Monday

May God be with her
