The Egyptian educational system is highly centralized, and is divided into three stages:
- Basic Education (Arabic: التعليم الأساسى, transliteration: al-Taʿaleem al-Asassī)
- Primary Stage
- Preparatory Stage
- Secondary Education (Arabic: التعليم الثانوى, transliteration: al-Taʿaleem al-Thanawī)
- Post-Secondary education (Arabic: التعليم الجامعى, transliteration: al-Taʿaleem al-Gammeʿī)
Since the extension of the free compulsory education law in 1981 to include the Preparatory Stage, both Primary and Preparatory phases (Ages 6 through 14) have been combined together under the label Basic Education.
