They say education in Egypt is not the best (or even close) but six brilliant young individuals dominated their fields. The British Council in Egypt announced the names of the winners of Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards in Cairo and Alexandria.
To find out that six were ranked first in the world gave us hope in Egypt and its education system. Guess what? All of them went to national schools. The same system parents now are dying to keep their kids away from. It seems that we’ve got it all wrong.
The ceremony celebrated the academic achievements of 122 secondary school learners’ awards in the 2016 Cambridge IGCSE and International AS and A Level exams, including 83 awards in Cairo and 39 awards in Alexandria.
