Egyptian Minister of Education and Technical Education Tarek Shawki has shed light on the role played by the United Nations in boosting Egypt’s education sector.
The minister’s statements came as he met with Resident Coordinator of the United Nations (UN) in Cairo Elena Banova and international advisor Antonio Vigilante to discuss co-operation between Egypt and the UN in implementing the “Decent Life” presidential initiative, which aims at developing rural areas.
He said the number of educational projects included in the initiative is estimated at 1,113 projects providing 15,000 classes, a matter that would reduce the high number of pupils inside the classrooms.
Vigilante, for his part, hailed partnerships between the Egyptian government and the UN body and hailed efforts exerted by the government to develop education in Egypt.
