This article will focus on some contemporary trends in social work education and practices in Egypt, such as: authentication, community development, teaching orientation, social work practice, formal association, and an examination of what the future direction of social work is. Much of the discussions put forth in this paper were remised on examining and understanding the Egyptian experience. The analysis of this article drew mainly on the information provided by the author’s experience in teaching in Egypt.
