The National Alliance for Community Development has opened the Engineer Abdel Hamid Abou Bakr School for Applied Technology in the city of Fayid, Ismailia Governorate. The opening ceremony was attended by Education Minister Mohamed Abdellatif, Ismailia Governor Lieutenant General Nabil Hafez, and Ambassador Nabila Makram, head of the National Alliance's technical committee. The school is part of the "Gosour" initiative to support applied technology in Ismailia.

The school will offer specialized technical education in fields such as gas, energy, and renewable energy, aligning with job market requirements. This initiative aims to provide high-quality education and training, preparing students for the workforce. The National Alliance's efforts focus on developing technical education and fostering partnerships to provide specialized educational and training opportunities.

The opening ceremony included the signing of a cooperation protocol between the Education First Foundation, a member of the National Alliance, and Abou Bakr Foundation for Technical Education. The protocol, signed by Dr. Salma El-Bakry, Lena Naguib, and Engineer Khaled Abou Bakr, aims to support technical schools under the Abou Bakr Foundation. This partnership seeks to enhance technical education and provide resources for students.

This is the second school opened under the "Gosour" initiative, following the launch of the Bank of Egypt School for Applied Technology and Pharmaceutical Industries in Ismailia last year. The National Alliance's endeavors focus on supporting education development and fostering effective partnerships to provide specialized educational opportunities.

The National Alliance's efforts align with Egypt's goals to improve technical education and address job market needs. By investing in education and training, the alliance aims to equip students with the skills required to succeed in the workforce. This initiative contributes to the country's economic growth and social development.

The school's curriculum will focus on applied technology, providing students with hands-on experience and practical skills. This approach aims to bridge the gap between education and the job market, ensuring that graduates are employable and equipped to contribute to the economy.

The National Alliance's commitment to education and community development reflects its mission to support Egypt's growth and progress.
