Abstract


Egypt plays a pivotal role in the field of education in the Middle East due to its unique geographical location that connects three continents. However, the education system in Egypt faces significant challenges in the 21st century, such as overcrowded classrooms, lack of educational resources, and disparity between urban and rural areas. The increasing number of refugees has also increased the pressure on educational institutions. This study aims to use the phenomenological approach to understand the educational experiences of students and teachers and analyze the problems in depth. By focusing on subjective experiences, the research seeks to provide customized educational solutions that suit the needs of different individuals and to connect educational institutions with the individuals associated with them, including students, teachers, and parents.

Keywords
