In 1962, Bahaeddin joined the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, as a lecturer and, in 1973, he was promoted to professor of paediatrics. He then assumed the positions of head of the paediatric department and director of the new university children's hospital, both of which he held from 1983 to 1991.{{Cite book |last= |first= |url=https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Who_s_Who_in_the_World_1995/vBwqZPrOfcAC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Hussein+Kamel+Bahaaeldin+-wikipedia&pg=PA70&printsec=frontcover |title=Who's Who in the World, 1995 |date=December 1995 |publisher=Marquis Who's Who |isbn=978-0-8379-1113-7 |language=en}}

Around 80 percent of boys and 60 percent of girls were punished by teachers using their hands, sticks, straps, shoes, punches, and kicks as the most common administration methods. The most commonly reported injuries were bumps and contusions.{{cite journal |author=Youssef RM, Attia MS, Kamel MI |last2=Attia |last3=Kamel |date=October 1998 |title=Children experiencing violence.

Bahaeddin removed the restriction on the number of General Secondary Education Certificate exams students could take for university entrance, which was previously limited to one. He believed that poverty and malnutrition were responsible for the low average academic level of students, and this step would, first, eliminate the fear of the National Secondary Exam, and second, the students who did not receive private lessons would be compensated because "repetition ensures improving performance". However, repeating the exam required paying the exam fees.{{Cite web |title=حسين كامل بهاء الدين.. 50 عاماً بين السياسة والتعليم |trans-title=Hussein Kamel Bahaeddin: 50 Years Between Politics and Education |url=https://darelhilal.com/News/708349.aspx |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130152550/https://darelhilal.com/News/708349.aspx |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=دار الهلال |language=ar}}

Between 1992 and 1997, Bahaeddin oversaw the construction of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

In 1994, Bahaeddin tried to pass a rule that would have prohibited schoolgirls from donning the hijab unless their parents provided a letter of consent to the school.{{Cite news |last=Silver |first=Vernon |date=30 June 1996 |title=In Egypt's Schools, Fashion Is Politics |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/30/archives/in-egypts-schools-fashion-is-politics.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130140210/https://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/30/archives/in-egypts-schools-fashion-is-politics.html |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}} However, the decree was withdrawn due to public outcry over the measure, which was seen as part of a systematic campaign against Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.{{Cite web |date=16 September 1994 |title=Scarf reversal |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/scarf-reversal-1449258.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130140210/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/scarf-reversal-1449258.html |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=The Independent |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Egypt: Reading between the "Red Lines": V.

In 1998, Bahaeddin passed a decree that would punish any student proven to have assaulted a teacher with final dismissal.{{Cite web |title=بشأن منع العنف فى المدارس. |trans-title=On preventing violence in schools. |url=http://site.eastlaws.com/GeneralSearch/Home/ArticlesTDetails?MasterID=38334&related |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130154406/http://site.eastlaws.com/GeneralSearch/Home/ArticlesTDetails?MasterID=38334&related |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=East Laws |language=ar}}

Bahaeddin often expressed his opinion that democracy is important and that, in his view, instructors should be supported in engaging pupils in more democratic practices. A workshop on using democratic instruments in the classroom was conducted by the Group for Democratic Development (GDD) in 1999 for Upper-Egyptian teachers. The Education Ministry received the GDD's findings and an offer from the GDD to assist the ministry in more training sessions. However, close to 30 workshop attendees were held at the State Security Office for up to 24 hours. The Ministry of Education then docked 15 days of each participant's monthly salary and accused them of teaching homosexuality and atheism.{{Cite journal |last=Stacher |first=Joshua A. |date=2001 |title=A Democracy with Fangs and Claws and ITS Effects on Egyptian Political Culture |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41858384 |url-status=live |journal=Arab Studies Quarterly |volume=23 |issue=3 |pages=83–99 |issn=0271-3519 |jstor=41858384 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130141443/https://www.jstor.org/stable/41858384 |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023}} Later, political science professor Glenn E.

In 2003, Bahaeddin defended the government's control over education by arguing that doing so would prevent "enculturation and socialisation" of the state and promote national harmony,{{Cite web |date=March 2012 |title=Education in Egypt: Key Challenges |url=https://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/Middle%20East/0312egyptedu_background.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220410201808/https://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/Middle%20East/0312egyptedu_background.pdf |archive-date=10 April 2022 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=Chatham House}} as – according to Bahaeddin – the military, economy, and political spheres all have a stake in education as a matter of national security.{{Cite journal |last1=Zaki Ewiss |first1=M.A. |last2=Abdelgawad |first2=Fatma |last3=Elgendy |first3=Azza |date=1 January 2019 |title=School educational policy in Egypt: societal assessment perspective |journal=Journal of Humanities and Applied Social Sciences |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=55–68 |doi=10.1108/JHASS-05-2019-004 |s2cid=199299225 |issn=2632-279X |doi-access=free }} However, following the 2011 Egyptian revolution, which included the removal of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the disbandment of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), the Ministry of Education removed over 20 percent of the instructional materials that were focused on the legacies of the NDP from the national curricula.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=4 December 2016 |title=Political Illiteracy and State-Sponsored Narratives of History |url=https://www.auccaravan.com/?p=4450 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130141445/https://www.auccaravan.com/?p=4450 |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=The Caravan |language=en-US}}

In 2004, the Ministry of Education dismissed a number of educators that it alleged had pro-Islamic leanings. Bahaeddin said the decision was made after receiving information from the ministry managers and security personnel, and also complaints from the parents of the pupils. These efforts were considered part of US-led initiatives to combat terrorism.{{Cite news |last=Manzo |first=Kathleen Kennedy |date=21 April 2004 |title=Muslim Textbooks Seen as Intolerant |url=https://www.edweek.org/education/muslim-textbooks-seen-as-intolerant/2004/04 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130140220/https://www.edweek.org/education/muslim-textbooks-seen-as-intolerant/2004/04 |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |work=Education Week |language=en |issn=0277-4232}} According to Bahaeddin, the government decision was not made in reaction to US demands for reforms that the Gulf News said would "eliminate a climate that Washington considers as helping to breed terrorism".{{Cite web |date=25 March 2004 |title=Egypt dismisses teachers based on security reports |url=https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/egypt-dismisses-teachers-based-on-security-reports-1.317408 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130140212/https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/egypt-dismisses-teachers-based-on-security-reports-1.317408 |archive-date=30 January 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=Gulf News |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2 March 2004 |title=Egypt hits back with its own proposal: US plan for Middle East |url=http://beta.dawn.com/news/352640/egypt-hits-back-with-its-own-proposal-us-plan-for-middle-east |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230325230705/https://www.dawn.com/news/352640/egypt-hits-back-with-its-own-proposal-us-plan-for-middle-east |archive-date=25 March 2023 |access-date=30 January 2023 |website=Dawn |language=en}} As part of the "New Basic Education Bilateral Agreement" with the US, which would go on to provide $64 million USD for education reform in Egypt, these reforms included the removal of Quranic verses and the sayings of the Prophet Mohammed from school texts.
