Before university, there are two types of education in Egypt; The general education
and the technical education. Students at technical schools learn skills that used in
the world of work. There are now many more technical schools around Egypt. They
teach students skills needed for industry, farming or nursing. Students study at
these schools for three or five years. Under the Egyptian dual education system,
students of technical schools spend two days at their school and four days at a place
of work where they can practise their new skills weekly. Also, the top-level students
at technical schools can join the university. They can get very good jobs. Life would
be impossible without electricians, nurses, mechanics and farmers

Should we work all the time without having a rest? The answer is that we can continue
working without stopping. From time to time, we need some rest to do so interesting
activities. If we don’t do that, we can make mistakes and our work might get worse. If
we work all the time, we may lose the ability to think clearly and have energy to
continue working, so sleep is very important. It renews our energy. Sports and games
are also important especially for people who stay in closed offices. They are not able
to do exercise. Some activities such as swimming and walking may give them a lot of
energy. So, we shouldn’t waste our weekends we should try to forget about our work.
We can then enjoy ourselves.
