To boost international cooperation in education development, Egypt's Minister of Education and Technical Education, Mohamed Abdel Latif, announced that the partnership with Japan has helped teach programming and artificial intelligence to about one million first-year secondary students. Out of these, around 500,000 students successfully passed the course during the first semester, showing a big move towards education focused on digital skills. This announcement came during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Education and the Financial Regulatory Authority, in collaboration with Japan's Suprix institution and Hiroshima University. This agreement is all about implementing a financial literacy curriculum for secondary school students, and many ministers and officials from both Egypt and Japan were there to witness it.
