There have been lots of questions about the schools and the students I visited in Egypt. All of the children in Egypt were very serious about learning and very happy to meet principals from America. The schools I saw were very different, but the one thing that they all had in common was that the students liked to ask many questions about YOU!
The Degla Primary School was a very poor school. There were 45-50 students in each classroom which made it very crowded. They had very few books or crayons or colorful student work to look at on the walls. Because it doesn't rain in Egypt, the hallway between their classrooms was outdoors and made of stone. They were still very eager to learn. They were learning English along with their native Arabic language. They wore their everyday clothes and sneakers or sandals to school each day.
