Mr. Mohamed Abdel Latif, Minister of Education and Technical Education, received a number of Nile International Schools students as representatives of the school's student body nationwide. The Minister was keen to hear their views on the level of education at the schools and their academic achievement over the past years.
The meeting was attended by Mr. Mohamed Attia, Head of the Central Administration for Fee-Based Education; Brigadier General Tarek El-Baz, Head of the Central Administration for Educational Centers and Complexes and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Egypt Company for Educational Management; and Dr. Amani El-Far, Managing Director and CEO of the Egypt Company for Educational Management.
During the meeting, Minister Mohamed Abdel Latif welcomed the attendees and the Nile Schools students, expressing his pleasure at meeting them. He emphasized that the state prioritizes preparing a generation capable of keeping pace with the changes in the local and global labor market. He emphasized that equipping students with modern skills and knowledge is no longer an option, but rather a necessity dictated by the demands of the times.
During the meeting, a discussion took place in which the Minister listened to the students' future aspirations, professional ambitions, and desire to pursue specializations such as computer science, cardiac surgery, business administration, and artificial intelligence engineering. The Minister emphasized the need for students to have a significant share of computer science and artificial intelligence studies, as they are the language of the future.
Minister Mohamed Abdel Latif continued, saying that programming is no longer just an optional skill; it has become one of the cornerstones of the modern labor market. He also noted that access to accurate information has become easier, and that our students possess advanced skills in using the latest technological developments, enabling them to compete effectively. The Minister also urged students to continuously stay informed of new research and the latest technologies, to read carefully in their field of specialization, and to be patient and diligent.
At the end of the meeting, the students extended an invitation to the Minister to attend their graduation ceremony. The students urged the Minister to honor the top graduates of the Nile Schools, a request the Minister welcomed, praising their academic level and expressing his pleasure at participating in honoring the top graduates.
It is worth noting that the Nile Egyptian International Schools (NEIS) are Egyptian public international schools established with government funding. They began operations in 2010 to provide a distinguished international educational service. They are supervised by the Nile International Certificate Unit of the Ministry of Education in partnership with Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), which provides technical support to the schools and accredits their certificates abroad.
The Nile Egyptian Schools also offer international curricula designed in collaboration with Cambridge Examinations, which operates in bilingual education. Arabic, religious education, and social studies are taught in Arabic, while other subjects are taught in English.
