Arabic language is taught as a compulsory subject for all Egyptian students. This instruction is validated by biannual examinations conducted by the Egyptian Ministry. French-speaking students or non-Arabic-speaking students follow an introduction to the Arabic language consisting of two hours per week. Egyptian high school students follow the Arabic LV instruction to prepare for the French Baccalaureate LV examinations (1, 2, or 3 to choose from). The objective is to include this Arabic living-language instruction for all students, whether French or other and Egyptian.
