We also agree that information means power and news means opportunity. It is important to know about the Technical School of Spinning and Weaving, which will contribute to the return of the Egyptian giant of this industry to his throne again, in continuation of the state’s efforts in this regard, since science is the key to progress, and since the textile industry in Egypt during The last decades have been subjected to very severe crises in multiple aspects, starting with the provision of raw materials, the most important of which is Egyptian cotton, all the way to the trained and specialized labor force in the field, which, due to these successive crises, has been dispersed and dissipated between workers who immigrated and traveled to other places attracted by some of the countries working in the field, and among workers. I left the field in the first place and worked in other fields.
Therefore, it was wise, praised by the Egyptian state, especially by technical education officials at the Ministry of Education, to think about solving this dilemma that might eliminate this craft in Egypt once and for all, and accordingly they approved the establishment of a specialized technical school to teach the textile industry to students who have completed the preparatory certificate. This school has many advantages that make everyone rush to join it. It is a school that specializes in an important field of industry, as it presents many competencies to the labor market, and also provides suitable work for those competencies after completing their studies with distinction, and this is what helps to flourish. The textile industry in Egypt is once again at the highest level, and this is what will be discussed below according to what was stated on the educational exam website. Thank you for your clarification effort in this regard.
The advantages of the Technical School of Spinning and Weaving
The school was newly established, and there are two classes as a first stage, and each class contains 25 individuals, males and females.
The school was established inside the factory of the Nile Company for Fine Spinning and Weaving, located in Sadat City, Cairo. The factory is one of the largest spinning and weaving factories in Egypt, and this is one of the important advantages. When there is useful knowledge and the appropriate place to present and work with this knowledge, this is one of the most important basics of success and high efficiency.
Distinct theoretical content is provided to students, through expert teachers, which strengthens the students’ experience and knowledge of the industry and increases their knowledge of the craft, thus assisting them in practical training and helping them in the future in the labor market.
The Textile School can offer a lot to its students and graduates, as it provides them with education at the highest level of precision and craftsmanship to qualify them for work immediately after graduation, and offers various competencies for the labor market.
Students are trained practically in factories and companies specializing in spinning and weaving, and thus the school allows its students to mix with the labor market and learn about it, which increases the students’ knowledge of the nature of work and thus prepares them well for work in the future.
Providing a suitable job opportunity for students graduating from the school, thus saving them the time and effort spent searching for a decent job opportunity, and this is one of the most important advantages that makes everyone want to join that school.
The school provides its students with a monthly stipend ranging from 300 Egyptian pounds to 500 Egyptian pounds, depending on the skill of each student in practical training in the factory attached to the school. This financial support for students is certainly not done in other technical schools.
Special aptitude test for admission to the Technical School of Spinning and Weaving
As it was mentioned previously, the school has been recently established, and therefore many people want to join it. Therefore, an aptitude test was conducted for the applicants in order to differentiate between them and choose the most suitable of them, and the students with the highest grades are the ones who are chosen for admission. The test is presented by the Nile Spinning and Weaving Factory Company.
The test consists of questions in the Arabic language, the English language, physics, and chemistry. There are also questions that measure the student’s level in general information. The student answers all the questions through a computer located inside the school, and the test result appears to the student immediately after taking the exam.
Departments of the Technical School of Spinning and Weaving
Studying the textile industry is not easy or has a uniform direction as some believe, as there are many important details that those practicing this profession must know, and thus its departments and studies are numerous, the most important of which are:

School expenses
The Special Administration for Technical Education at the Ministry of Education has approved that the fees for all technical schools for one academic year are only 200. Of course, the amount is subject to change from year to year, but at least it is considered a standard for the average that the school follows. In any case, it is a symbolic and encouraging amount in relation to the value that will be obtained. It is borne by the student and also in relation to the effort and cost that will be spent on the student by the Ministry of Education for his education and qualification in the field of the textile industry.
Finally, technical schools for spinning and weaving are an excellent choice for many, as they are schools that specialize in one type of industry, which is the textile industry. The knowledge that the school provides to its graduates makes them efficient and skilled workers who are in demand in the external and internal labor market. They also provide many opportunities for training within factories. Spinning and weaving, which gives them the opportunity for good training to work later, and we cannot forget the financial reward it provides to its students every month according to their productivity and skill during training in the factory.
The school provides training opportunities and the opportunity to work after graduation in textile factories. It also provides its students with financial rewards to praise their skills and competence, and this is what many schools cannot do.
