Comment on why do they force you to take the 3 national subjects in egypt?

but the thing is with civics in egypt is that I don’t like the real reason about why you should know about egyptian stuff like I don’t think that will be that useful for me in the future so yeah whats the point of egyptian civics basically

It’s usually where you learn how your government and institutions work, how to vote in elections, how to pay taxes, etc.

While these things seem very boring when you’re young some of them are quite important later on.

You have to have a shared cultural identity to be Egyptian

It’s not useful, hell it’ll be mostly half-truths and plenty of outright lies, but it’s a way to build cultural identity in a top down stort of way

    That’s what the class is for. To make you care
    
    I’m not saying it’ll work, but that’s why every country does this

The point of civics class isn’t to be useful to you, the individual. It’s to make you useful to civil society.

    I get the feeling you’re planning to leave Egypt as soon as possible after school?
    
    When immigrating to another country, you’re expected to learn the same details for that country, on your own time. Knowing the Egyptian version will provide a baseline making it easier to learn the material for the place you’re moving to.
