Egypt's Minya Governorate is making significant strides in upgrading its education infrastructure. Governor Imad Kdwani announced that the governorate is working to improve the education sector by implementing the state's plan to develop educational institutions. This effort includes the recent visit of Minister of Education Mohamed Abdellatif, who monitored the educational process in the governorate. The governor emphasized that reducing student overcrowding is a top priority, with a focus on creating a more equitable distribution of educational services.
The governorate has completed 18 new schools, adding 315 classrooms at a cost of EGP 350 million. These schools are located in various centers across the governorate, including Maghagha, Beni Mazar, Matai, Smalut, and Minya. The new schools aim to improve the learning environment and provide more space for teachers to implement modern and interactive teaching methods. This development is part of the General Authority for Educational Buildings' plan from July 2025.
In addition to the completed schools, 56 new educational projects are currently underway, comprising 859 classrooms at a total cost of EGP 2 billion. These projects are distributed across various centers in the governorate, including Smalut, Minya, Beni Mazar, Mallawi, Abou Qurqas, and Der Mawas. The governorate is also supporting its educational infrastructure by constructing new administrative buildings for educational administrations in Beni Mazar and Mallawi at a cost of EGP 48 million.
The presidential initiative "Hayat Karima" has had a significant impact on improving educational infrastructure in targeted villages. As part of this initiative, 100 new schools have been built, adding 1474 classrooms at a cost of EGP 587 million. Furthermore, comprehensive maintenance work has been carried out on 116 schools at a cost of EGP 115 million. These efforts aim to provide students in villages and areas with greater needs with a decent education.
The governorate has also focused on upgrading existing educational institutions. A total of 28 schools have been renovated and maintained as part of the "Safe Schools" project at a cost of EGP 90 million, in cooperation with the Child Rescue Organization. These developments not only involve construction work but also emphasize safety and security measures and the provision of facilities.
Governor Kdwani stressed that the governorate will continue to coordinate with the Ministry of Education and the General Authority for Educational Buildings to accelerate the implementation of ongoing projects. The priority will be given to areas with greater needs, in line with the state's focus on investing in human development and providing higher quality and more equitable education for the governorate's students.
