For raising children in Egypt, Rage 2 Rebuild selects “Education and children’s rights” from Humanists International’s chapter dated 4 March 2024.

Country chapter updated 4 March 2024 · retrieved September 5, 2026. This chapter is more than two years old. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Education and children’s rights
Article 80 of the Constitution enshrines the rights of the Child in multiple fields, including health care, education, protection against violence, legal guarantees in case of criminal liability. However, there is ample evidence of children abducted by they authorities, held in incommunicado detention and tortured in prison.
Women
No law criminalizes domestic violence, unless it is “considered to be beyond ‘the accepted limits of discipline decided by the judge’ and ‘if the injuries are apparent’”.
Family, community and society
Article 10 of the Constitution defines the family as “the basis of society and is based on religion, morality, and patriotism.”

Which Egypt findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for raising children in Egypt. Our selection connects the 4 March 2024 chapter with school practices, family agreements and a child’s room to ask questions. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
Religious or ideological instruction is mandatory in all or most state-funded schools with no secular or humanist alternative
The source finding concerns education or children. National arrangements and the policy of one school are not interchangeable.
A question to verify: What does the named school currently require, what alternative exists, and who is responsible for the decision?
There is state funding of at least some religious schools

How can I support children while my beliefs change?
For raising children in Egypt, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Choose one child-related decision and identify whose rights, duties and preferences matter. The two starting points below address school practices, family agreements and a child’s room to ask questions. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Make questions welcome without recruiting the child
A child can ask why people believe different things without being asked to choose a side between adults. Use language appropriate to their age and understanding. You can say that you are still learning and that people in the family may answer differently.
Investigate the actual school arrangement
Ask about religious instruction, worship, ceremonies, alternatives, notice to parents and any opt-out process at the particular school. A national policy and a classroom practice can differ. Keep a copy of a published policy only where doing so is appropriate for your circumstances.

How did religious identity change in Egypt?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Egypt table shows Less than 0.1% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and Less than 0.1% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 5.1% | 4.8% | -0.3 pp |
| Muslim | 94.9% | 95.2% | +0.3 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Buddhist | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Hindu | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
