In a significant step toward educational reform and youth empowerment, Egypt’s publishing giant Nahdet Misr Group has signed a strategic cooperation protocol with Mountain View Foundation for Development , aimed at modernizing technical education and enriching cultural and cognitive development among children and young people across Egypt. Dalia Ibrahim, Chairperson of Nahdet Misr Group, highlighted both institutions’ values and the unified vision for supporting technical education.
Bridging Education and Innovation
The agreement includes a multi-pronged approach to overhauling technical and vocational education in Egypt. Key initiatives include:
- Digitizing and redesigning curricula for technical education at Mountain View’s affiliated applied technology schools to better align with labor market demands—both domestic and international.
- Professional development programs for educators and school leaders, supporting international accreditation of qualifications.
- Cultural programming, including writing workshops, literary competitions, and creative festivals held within Mountain View’s residential communities.
- Publication and promotion of students’ stories and creative works at flagship events such as the Cairo International Book Fair.
- Traveling book fairs and exhibitions hosted across Egyptian governorates to promote reading and access to knowledge.
Shared Empowerment Vision
The initiative is being lauded as a successful model of public-private-civil society collaboration — where corporate social responsibility, educational reform, and community development converge to drive sustainable change. The partnership supports Egypt’s national vision for human capital development and aligns with the goals of Egypt Vision 2030.
