| Abstract | ||
| Education sector considers one of the vital sectors that plays a significant role in the national economy, particularly, the higher education sector, for dealing with the fundamental category that constitutes the Egyptian identity and responsible for producing minds and forming the Egyptian conscience. The research problem is summed up in that education sector in general and the higher one specifically encounter several challenges which on top are the rarity of economic resources, expenditure size, the increase of students number, and shortage in the teaching staff number which have been reason for this study for examining problems from an academic perspective, attempting to find true actual and practical resolutions for meeting such challenges this sector is experiencing. The study objectives are crystallized in defining evaluation of actual expenditure policy of the higher education sector and compare it to expenditure size of the same sector in state of Malaysia in attempt to stand on the benefit aspects of its experiment, and studying the potentiality of rationalization of expenditure for achieving sustainable development. Rationalization here is meant by determining necessary aspects of expenditure to restrict financial loss in this sector; setting at the same time the appropriate solutions and demands necessary for funding the university education in Egypt in light of benefitting from the Malaysian experiment. In order to achieve the study targets, the inductive-descriptive and the deductive methods are used to check out validity of the study hypotheses admitting that there is no relationship between the general expenditure size of the higher education budget and size of the economic growth revenue, and the success of the Malaysian experiment in educational expenditure is because of its industrial and technological progress. The study results come to that there is a direct correlation between actual expenditure size of educational balance, advancement of the state's economy and the developmental revenue size, demonstrating the success of the Malaysian experiment in the higher education sector. The most important recommendation presented by researchers is the necessity to concern with university education in its different types (public – technical – commercial), holding programs with cooperation with world universities and sending missions outside Egypt to benefit from these experiments, reducing centralism in universities and attempting to work on necessary decision-making for the purpose of decreasing wastes in time, studying as well the market needs of labor, legislating regulations that facilitate the educational process and login technology age and adopting the idea of online-based on education and open education. | ||
