This visit aimed to monitor the smooth operation of the educational process at the beginning of the new academic year and ensure the implementation of measures to improve and develop the educational process in all schools, including addressing issues of class overcrowding and teacher shortages.

Madbouly expressed gratitude to the Minister of Education and Technical Education for implementing measures to address these challenges, ultimately strengthening efforts to improve various aspects of the Egyptian education system and achieve desired human development goals.

Addressing the ongoing regional conflict, Madbouly noted that the Egyptian government is closely monitoring the situation and rejects any attempts to escalate tensions. He emphasised the need for responsible actions from all parties to ensure regional peace and security.
