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

I would assume that the primary language and civics are required in almost any country. They are essentially to being part of society.

Also not surprised that Religion is mandatory in a ME country. It’s often still mandatory in very secular countries (It was for me, even though we just fooled around).

I don’t think there is anything unusual about Egypt here.

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.

I agree, we had the same mandatory courses in the netherlands, although religion was more like religious studies where we learned about all the different religions.
