Culture ministry issues 50% student discount for museums, theatres - Society
The Ministry of Culture has introduced a 50 percent discount card for students to boost engagement with national museums, art institutions, theatres, the National Circus, and innovation centres.
Culture Minister Ahmed Fouad Hanno said the initiative is part of broader efforts to expand cultural access and encourage school and university students to engage with the arts.
He noted that the programme seeks to deepen students' aesthetic and intellectual awareness while strengthening their connection to Egyptian national identity.
The 'Welcome Students' card will be rolled out in coordination with the Ministries of Education, Higher Education, and Scientific Research.
Hanno described the card as the first step in a larger plan to integrate students into Egypt's cultural life, offering them meaningful exposure to artistic experiences and supporting young talent.
He also praised the collaboration between educational and cultural bodies in making the initiative possible.
