Egypt USAID-Cairo

Description

The Science and Mathematics Model schools program will introduce advanced science and mathematics education to Egyptian students by creating three to five science- and math-focused public secondary (high) schools in targeted governorates. These schools will: prepare a cohort of students and teachers with specialized skills; reinforce collaboration with U.S. STEM schools and universities; expand utilization of appropriate networks between Egypt and the U.S.; and raise awareness of specialized science and mathematics education among the public. As centers of excellence, these schools will contribute to workforce development by focusing on specific science and mathematics fields, allowing a diverse group of gifted students to progress into higher education and preparing them to be proficient workers, capable of dealing with the demands of a science-based workforce and continue the research and development that is central to the economic growth of the country.
