Chances and Challenges of Egyptian-German Cooperation in Higher Education
Abstract
Egypt and Germany share a long history when it comes to cultural diplomacy in general and bilateral cooperation in higher education in particular, with Germany being the second most important partner in academic exchange after the US. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) therefore plays an important role as an actor on-site promoting several projects and scholarship programs to support Egyptian Academia and increase the quality of teaching. At the same time DAAD is a careful observer of trends and developments within the Egyptian higher education system. The main focus here lies with the promotion of German as a Foreign Language, decidedly one of the cornerstones of DAAD’s work not only in Egypt but worldwide. This double position as actor and observer enables DAAD to provide meaningful data on recent developments within the Egyptian academia. Therefore, it gives answers to questions about its main challenges and their impact on higher education in general and the teaching of German as a Foreign Language in particular. It also provides proof of the relevance of bilateral cooperation in higher education and classifies the quality and effectiveness of academic relations between both countries. The article aims to presents and discuss these findings by using qualitative content analysis as a tool to analyze data provided in the official reports of DAAD on Egypt between the years of 2016 to 2020.
