Egypt: Student's Struggle for Education


As the Ministry of Health continues to close private and public schools all throughout Egypt due to the augmentation in the number of swine flu cases, thousands of parents' concerns for their children's education increase. Parents look for alternates for education, but fail to find a solution. Private lessons are expensive and private schools are being forced to close also. Parents worry that their children might not even be able to take their end-of-semester exams on January as planned. 
The Ministry of Health announced 466 confirmed cases among the student population. Therefore, the Ministry of Education has closed at least 22 schools and quarantined students inside their classrooms of those schools that still open.  The increment  in number of cases along with pneumonia, will lead the Ministry of Education to close all schools across the nation.
