Cairo Governor Discusses New Schools and Ending Second-Shift Classes

Cairo’s governor held a meeting to discuss building new schools and ending second-shift classes in the capital.

The meeting brought together the assistant education minister for educational buildings and the head of the General Authority for Educational Buildings.

Discussions focused on coordination between the governorate, the authority and Cairo’s education directorate on school infrastructure.

The talks addressed new school construction alongside the goal of eliminating the second shift, in which schools accommodate another group of pupils later in the day.

The brief account of the meeting did not specify proposed school locations or a timetable for ending second-shift classes.
