Poverty in Egypt:
Mia is my contact from Egypt. She teacher's in the city Alexandria. There are about 10 million poor families in the country. Mia teachers in American School in Egypt. Where she teachers' at many of the families are very rich but the school is located in a very poor area. Egypt, economy is not good and there is less student attending school this year.
This is a picture children in American school in Egypt.In the World Economic Forum's , Egypt ranked near the bottom -- 131st out of 144 countries -- for quality of primary education. Egypt's literacy rate is 66%. Mia stated right now the schools are in limbo and they don't know what will happen in the next couple of months. Many of the children are live in very poor conditions even the children who are going to American schools life have been turn upside down with all the fighting in Egypt.
Darrell-
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the insight on Egypt. I cannot imagine attending school in the midst of fighting and chaos. It's hard enough for children to learn without these distractions, but then to have the worry that your loved ones may not be there when you come home is worrisome. I look forward to the additional insights you will be sharing.
Hi Darrell
ReplyDeleteYour blog was amazing. I enjoyed learning more on Egypt acutally my high school was called Raleigh-"Egypt" but of course there wasn't very much taught on the country itself. It is sad that there are so many poor families and your have people throwing their money away on cars and clothes.
I enjoyed reading your post and that's great Mia was able to communicate with you and early childhood education. It's very sad that the children are very poor but you know they look happy with Mia and that's what is important for the children to be happy in school. Every country is very different but we all want the best for all the children in the world great post!!
ReplyDeleteDarrell,
