Improving literacy and numeracy skills
Issues to do with basic skills are very challenging across the whole spectrum of educational options and vocational education and training (VET) is not an exception. It is clear that many students entering the VET system in Egypt have weak numeracy and literacy skills – and they need targeted help.
