| Abstract | ||||
| The research addressed the deficiencies in primary education and the failure of some curricula to meet the international standards in Egypt. It focused on evaluating Arabic, science and mathematics curricula of the last three grades of the primary school i n the light of the global competitiveness standards. Employing the descriptive analytical methodology, the research identified and evaluated how well these standards were addressed by the Egyptian curricula. Findings revealed that overall, the fifth grade curricula were the best, highly addressing the global competitivene ss standards in Arabic and science and moderately addressing these standards in mathematics. The sixth grade curricula moderately addressed the global competitiveness standards in all three subjects. In contrast, the fourth grade curricula poorly addressed the global competitiveness standards in Arabic and moderately addressed these standards in mathematics and science. Most curriculum elements showed moderate compliance with the global competitiveness standards. The research underscored the necessity of in tegrating these standards into the primary education curricula to enhance the quality education . It also recommended improving the t eaching methods and providing continuous training for teachers to enhance their skills. This comprehensive approach aimed to address the disparities and shortcomings in primary education. To achieve this, curricula should be aligned with global competitiveness standards and fostered by creating a conducive learning environment for students . By implementing these recommendations , the research anticipated significant improvements in the quality of teaching and learning outcomes in the primary schools in Egypt. | ||||
