The Egyptian government has taken steps to address concerns in the education sector, particularly in the field of illegal schools. Recently, the Giza Governorate conducted a campaign that resulted in the closure and sealing of three Sudanese schools operating without proper licenses in the Agouza area. The campaign was carried out based on directives from Giza Governor Dr. Ahmed El-Ansari to deal with establishments operating in violation of regulations.
The closure of the schools was a result of monitoring and taking necessary actions against them. The Governorate emphasized its continued efforts to oversee various establishments and take immediate action against any violations, particularly those related to practicing activities without obtaining licenses or in violation of legal requirements. This move aims to ensure compliance with laws and maintain the level of services provided to citizens.
In a separate development, the Cairo Education Administration denied claims of the presence of bed bugs in a school in the Zeitoun area. According to sources, a medical and administrative committee was formed to inspect the school, and after conducting a thorough examination, it was confirmed that there were no bed bugs or any other insects in the school. As a result, there was no need for pest control measures.
