Abstract

The field study revealed that students use various means of transportation to reach their schools. The most commonly used mode is the microbus, followed by private cars, walking, and finally, school buses. The time taken to reach school varies according to the type of transportation used, with the most frequent travel time ranging from 10 to less than 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes or more, and lastly, less than 10 minutes. Regarding the cost of transportation, most students incur no expenses as they either live close to their schools or use their parents' private cars, which accounts for the largest proportion. The second most common cost is less than 10 EGP, used by students traveling by microbus. The third and fourth categories range between 10 to less than 20 EGP, and 20 EGP or more, incurred by students using school buses or subscription services. The distance traveled varies depending on the educational level and the school, with students who walk or use private cars covering distances of 500 to 1000 meters, especially those in elementary school. For preparatory and secondary schools, the distance is often more than 1000 meters. The field study also assessed students' opinions on the educational process, particularly class schedules. More than half of the sample indicated that their schedules were somewhat crowded. As for academic performance, less than three-quarters of the students believed their academic achievement was satisfactory. Some students resort to private tutoring due to the difficulty of exams, the desire to obtain higher grades, a lack of understanding in school, and overcrowded classrooms. Additionally, some students face noise disturbances both inside and outside the school, attributed to traffic, nearby markets, and street vendors using loudspeakers. Other sources of pollution include noise, air, and visual pollution, with noise pollution stemming from street vendors, air pollution from nearby factories, and visual pollution caused by vendors setting up stalls in front of schools.
