** after the 25th Jan Revolution **
 * Classroom and School Management in Egypt **

__Abstract__ After the success of Egyptian protesters of making the president step down, there were great social changes in the Egyptian Community. Revolution Aftermath made every Egyptian protest on every day practices. If they have low salaries they protest and strike. If they do not like their manager in any institution, they protest and strike. They still need to practice freedom but not ciaos. This had a very negative impact on schools management and class management. Students are not respecting teachers anymore. Arab students often stand at the beginning of every class to salute and show respect to teacher. Then parents, students and the education stakeholder are very aggressive and non-respectful to teachers anymore. How schools will absorb this aggressive attitude? What is the role of school in preparing the students for a future of freedom and mutual respect? How schools are responsible to prepare the Egyptians students to be self-disciplined? What could the International Educational studies offer to help? How could we build on the positive and minimize the negatives?

**This has been repeated for the first year after the revolution, Everywhere no one can accept to be under their leaders, They have witnessed with their own eyes that protest and being consistent on their situation managed to move the president who stayed there for 35 years, So Why not with the rest of the institution.**

= How can Egyptians positively address this problem? =

==Education is increasingly seen to have a role to play in mitigating and/or exacerbating conflict. Education can provide a protective function for children in conflict or post-conflict situations (Nicolai and Triplehorn, 2003). We need to address the problem and even Schools leaders and teachers have to realize that this is a post conflict situation and they have a great role to absorb the anger of students or even teachers and gradually transform this negative energy to positive attitude.== ==‘Conflict’ was more problematic, and teachers and school administrators should work on using the positive side out of the conflict. Conflict as questioning, dialogue, struggle or debate is universal, found within families, communities, nations (Davies, 2004a, p. 9). As Tawil states,== ==‘conflict is inherent to social dynamics [and therefore] peace is not the absence of conflict. Rather, it is an operating mode wherein conflict is managed through non-violent means’ (Tawil, 1997, p.14). It is not the existence of conflict that is good or bad, but rather how it is resolved, and how change is achieved. What is happening now in Egypt is violent conflict between (representatives or members of)groups.==

==Many teachers in Egypt are accelerating any kind of dispute and this result in more negative attitudes from the side of students.The neglect of using Scientific research and anti biased techniques in judging media products in the previous years resulted produced easy directed population as shown in videos.==

= Recommendations: =

focus on teaching and aware the community with the culture of respecting the other
