Online registration for kindergarten, 1st grade school admission to start June in Egypt - Society
The Ministry of Education announced that online registration for first grade in public schools and kindergarten in public and language schools for the 2025/2026 school year will be open from 1 to 30 June. Online registration for the upcoming academic year 2025/2026 will be available through the designated electronic application on the Ministry of Education's Information Centre portal. According to a ministry statement, the step aims to ease procedures for parents and expand the use of a unified digital platform across all governorates, continuing efforts from previous years. The website will also enable parents to monitor the status of the preliminary admission process and pay school fees through various online payment tools. The ministry said children must be between six and nine years old to enrol in first grade, and at least four years old to join kindergarten. Placement will be handled by local education directorates based on school capacity and regional conditions. Parents can submit the student's paper file after results are announced and follow up on the final acceptance. Moreover, the ministry clarified that the school can assist parents with filling out the application after reviewing the child's official birth certificate and the guardian's national ID in case the guardian is unable to register online. In cases of legal custody, the court ruling must be presented. Regarding non-Egyptian students, the guardian must submit the admission documents to the local educational administration, which will review the paperwork and inform the schools of accepted students. School principals must then register these students' data in the central database. Recently, the ministry announced that the 2025/26 school year will run from 20 September 2025 to 11 June 2026, spanning 36 weeks. Final exams for the first term for transfer grades will begin on 10 January 2026, while second-term exams are set to start on 16 May.

EFA appeals postpones verdict in Cairo derby controversy to 15 May - Egyptian Football
The Egyptian Football Association's (EFA) appeals committee has postponed its decision on the Cairo derby controversy to 15 May, after previously setting Thursday 8 May, as the date for a final decision. The dispute stems from a decision by the Egyptian Pro League (EPL) board to reduce sanctions imposed on Al Ahly after the club failed to appear for their derby match against arch-rivals Zamalek on March 11. "The decision to postpone the matter came due to the absence of the reasons behind the contested decision from the Pro League competitions Association, which renders the current documents insufficient to rule on the arguments and defenses presented by all appealing parties," read a statement issued by the Appeals committee on Thursday. "The committee has decided to summon the president of the Competitions committee to its next session before taking a decision on the submitted appeals and notifying all appealing parties." Ahly, Zamalek and Pyramids FC have all filed appeals against the EPL board's ruling. Ahly argue they should not be penalized for the no-show, insisting they had requested a foreign referee for the high-stakes fixture. Zamalek and Pyramids FC, however, oppose the reduction in sanctions and have urged the appeals committee to reinstate the original penalties. The derby crisis began when Ahly refused to play, citing their earlier request for a non-Egyptian referee. Despite their objection, Egyptian referee Mahmoud Bassyouni was appointed to officiate. He was present at Cairo Stadium alongside the Zamalek team but called off the match 15 minutes after kick-off due to Ahly's absence. The EPL's competitions committee subsequently declared Ahly losers by default, docked the club three points, and ordered them to cover financial losses incurred by the cancellation. Ahly rejected the sanctions and warned they would consider withdrawing from the domestic league unless their demands were met. An initial appeal to the Egyptian Olympic Committee was unsuccessful, with the committee upholding the competitions committee's decision. However, in late March, the EPL board reversed part of the punishment, cancelling the three-point deduction—a move that provoked a strong backlash from Zamalek and Pyramids FC. Both clubs appealed the EPL board's decision and threatened to escalate the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) if the appeals committee maintains the reduced sanctions. The derby dispute could have major implications for the league title race.

Pyramids FC currently top the Egyptian Premier League with 47 points, just one ahead of second-placed Ahly, with four matches remaining in the season.

Well Done, Mr. President
Elham Aboul Fateh "This year's Ramadan drama has offered a lot of soap opras, but nothing would have happened if there were some serious topics." With these words, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi expressed the feelings of citizens who are watching soap operas these days. It was a frank and respectful call for drama productions that respect traditions, customs, and the sanctity of the holy month. But this doesn't mean that all dramas were bad. Most of them were good dramas that combated the theft of antiquities and discussed serious issues. However, some, including non-Egyptian channels, revolved around belly dancers, drugs, and crime. All people want purposeful drama, because it is the soft power capable of influencing society. However, we need purposeful dramas that elevate their standards and values, highlight the Egyptian people, the proud bearers of their ancient civilization, and highlight their values and morals. We hope to see dramatic works that embody Egyptian heroism in the fields of science, war, and peace. This is what countries that strive to build strong new generations do, fostering a sense of belonging, a desire to work, and ambition for the future. Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly immediately implemented the President's directives and began work on developing a plan to review the content of upcoming drama productions. The goal is to present themes that reflect Egypt's new identity and support the values we seek to instill in society, such as hard work, belonging, and building the future with a spirit of seriousness and commitment. Having a look at this year's Ramadan drama, the question remains: What have these works offered us? What principles and values have they instilled? Where is the soap operas that expressed the spirit of the new republic? And where is the soap operas that embodied the historical moment we are currently experiencing? I would have loved to see a series addressing the challenges and achievements of building the new administrative capital, or the heroism of Egyptians in supporting Gaza, or a work documenting the efforts made to develop Sinai, or other topics that reflect the true image of Egypt; a modern Egypt that looks with all its energy to the future, without forgetting its identity and values. I'm sure that the presidential directives, which the Prime Minister is closely monitoring, will make this coming Ramadan a season with a different flavor: one of hard work and diligence, respect, and adherence to public morals. We want drama that showcases the true essence of the authentic Egyptian people, a nation of civilization and generosity. We want drama that reflects the features of the new Egypt, contributes to building awareness, and restores Egyptian drama to its status as a soft power that influences society and contributes to its renaissance and progress. Happy returns for Egypt, its leadership and people. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why? Analysis: Russia, Turkey... Libya in Return For Syria?

11 Million Students for Anaemia, Obesity & Dwarfism in Egypt
Over 11 million Egyptian and non-Egyptian primary school students have undergone health screenings across all governorates, with additional medical check-ups provided. Mar 21, 2025 As part of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's nationwide initiative for the early detection of anaemia, obesity and dwarfism, the Ministry of Health and Population has announced that 11 million students in Egyptian schools have been screened for these conditions. The initiative targets both Egyptian and non-Egyptian primary school students residing in Egypt, aiming to ensure early intervention and treatment. Screenings will continue throughout the current academic year across all governorates. Beyond basic screenings, students undergo full medical examinations, including weight, height, and haemoglobin measurements to assess overall nutrition levels and detect possible health concerns. Students diagnosed with any of the conditions will be referred to health insurance clinics, where they will receive free tests and treatment. Each student will also be issued a follow-up card containing their personal data to ensure continued monitoring at health clinics nationwide.
