The MOHE has devised a strategic plan (February 2000) that has been updated and modified (September 04) as well as a master plan, which forecasts the expected increase in the number of enrolled students in the Egyptian higher education system relevant to the population expansion until the year 2021. However, this plan, though useful, is too generic and does not consider the regional inconsistencies of the different governorates of Egypt, and does not address the exact requirements and methodology in preparation for the expected rise in the number of enrolled students. This calls for developing a region-focused master plan, which will take into account the different regional social and economic needs, and the requirements and methodology for reforming higher education in select regions in Egypt. In addition, there is a need for preparing the staff members and employees of the MOHE to implement the expected changes and reform in the Higher Education system.
