Dr. Tarek Shawki, Egypt’s education minister, revealed the truth about the video: “School failed.”
Shawki added during a phone interview with Al-Hekaya, which aired on MBC Egypt: “We have responded to this issue and the ministry has given examinations to 1.8 million students. He continued, “Those who cry are service students, a system that allows entry into a comprehensive high school in exchange for paying money. The school is comprised of regular students and service students, and the success rate for regular students is 92% and service students is 22%.”
He emphasized that successful students are not 15 students, as is often seen on social networks, but the number of 700 students who have succeeded in school. He continued, “I’m looking for what he wants from this news through social media to submit a document of pressure on us, and we published an official paper leading to this, and the students are present, but the methods of pressure were different. because of social media.”
