Turkish primary schools have achieved fairly acceptable results in terms of health, services and public safety, while there have been some shortcomings in the aesthetic and organizational aspect of schools.

In the same context, Egyptian primary schools have not achieved good standards of safety, health and aesthetic, in the same time, there have been shortcomings in terms of public services. As for Saudi schools, rented schools have been the weak point in the Saudi school structure, as these schools do not meet the physical requirements for school construction.
