The West Shubra El-Kheima Educational Administration in Egypt has issued a statement denying allegations of financial shortages in its schools. The administration refuted claims made by individuals who claim to be doctors, members of school boards, or public workers, that there are campaigns to collect donations for the schools. These claims have been deemed as scams and acts of deception.
According to the administration, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education covers all the expenses and budgets for maintenance, both comprehensive and simple, for all schools under its administration. As such, there is no financial shortage that necessitates seeking donations from external parties or individuals. The administration emphasized that it is illegal for anyone to collect money under the guise of donations for educational institutions outside the legal framework and official bank accounts approved by the Ministry.
The administration has begun coordinating with the relevant legal and security authorities to take all necessary legal actions against those involved in these fundraising campaigns. They are urging citizens to cooperate fully and report immediately any individuals requesting money under any pretext for the benefit of schools. This can be done by visiting the administration's headquarters or sending complaints through official channels.
The administration's warning comes after several reports of individuals soliciting donations for schools in the area. These individuals often claim to be representatives of the schools or have fake affiliations with educational institutions. The administration stressed that it does not condone or support these activities and that citizens should be cautious when dealing with such individuals.
In line with the law, the administration reiterated that it is prohibited for anyone to collect money under the guise of donations for educational institutions outside the legal framework and official bank accounts approved by the Ministry. This move aims to ensure transparency and accountability in managing educational institutions' funds.
Parents and citizens are advised to verify the authenticity of individuals claiming to represent schools or educational institutions before engaging with them. They can do this by contacting the administration directly or checking the official website of the Ministry of Education and Technical Education.
