Abstract

The present study aims at studying the conceptual metaphors identified in the three strategic plans which are under investigation and which are issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Education.  Conceptual metaphors are pervasive in everyday language. Hence by analyzing the CMS that people use in depicting their experiences and beliefs, individuals can start to reveal meanings underneath those straightforwardly. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to discover how policy planners think about abstract concepts in terms of concrete ones when writing these plans. More specifically, the study aims at investigating how the concept of teachers is conceptualized by the policy planners. Concerning the concept of teachers, the findings of the study reveal that CMS are helpful in terms of understanding the way the ministry views this concept. In addition, regarding the role of the teacher, a great emphasis was put on the role of teacher as a professional.
