Given the rapid growth in knowledge and technology and the aspiration for a better future, the importance of the role of science and technology in leading the development and change witnessed by the modern era is clearly evident. The world is moving towards a new system of learning that keeps pace with the challenges of the times and contributes to solving society’s problems by linking different scientific fields such as science, mathematics, technology and engineering. The problems of life, and the development of education helps in giving students a degree of experience based on basic concepts and skills in mathematics, science, and critical thinking methods, which help students solve the real, realistic problems they face. The STEM Education system emerged as an alternative to memorization, indoctrination, and application of what the student learns in Life situations, and it works to make the learner constantly research and question in order to reach knowledge instead of receiving and memorizing it, so STEM education was a direct solution that combines theory and application.

The research aimed to clarify the education system supporting STEM schools in the Arab Republic of Egypt in light of the Singaporean experience. The researcher used the comparative approach and reached results from a comparative analysis of aspects of agreement and difference between the STEM school system in both the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Republic of Singapore, then presented some suggestions and recommendations.
