Educational institutions in different regions face different regional challenges.  Among those challenges of main concern to students and parents in Egypt are the qualifications of the teaching staff, the level of discipline observed, as well as the ability of graduates to be accepted into reputable universities in Cairo and abroad.  The reason these three factors are on the top of Egyptians' lists is that they vary wildly from high school to high school and play a determining role in predicting student success.

Egyptian High School Rankings takes a qualitative approach to ranking the schools on the list (http://www.bestschoolsinegypt.blogspot.com/).  A team of Western teachers that have been closely involved with, and in most cases worked in, the ranked high schools weighed a number of qualities to determine the school's rank on the 2011 Best High Schools in Egypt list.

This part of the world relies heavily on tutoring or 'private lessons' as they are commonly called.  This is a factor of a long history of a capricious educational system.  As Western universities become more selective, students in Cairo with international aspirations seek private help outside of school to improve their standardized testing scores.  With this in mind our team has identified a couple of companies that provide high-quality tutoring online for students in any country. The first is Student of Fortune a place to find answers to specific homework questions, the second is Khan Academy which provides online sessions in all subjects including college counseling, both are based in America.
