Global
realities compel us to prepare our young citizens
to work and live in a changing world. We should...equip
them with the necessary skills, knowledge and
language of the next century in addition to developing
their understanding of the political, social and
economic changes that are influencing the new
world market in which they are working, interacting
and living. ~
Dr. H.K. Bahaa’ El Din, Minister of Education

Egyptian access to the best available practices,
technologies and research accessible through U.S.
organizations and used in the U.S. education system.
