First, considerations for studying in Egypt.
1. According to the calculation of changing a toothbrush every three months, bring three or five toothbrushes. Egyptian toothbrush is not cheap, but a better one 10 Egyptian pound. Take a small tube of toothpaste; If you need a therapeutic effect, you can bring some Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste, which you can't find.
You must take an umbrella, but lesbians notice that Egyptians only take umbrellas when it rains. No matter how sunny the sun is, no one holds an umbrella in the street or on campus. So don't be so delicate and be honest! ! ! The remedy for sunburn is to apply sunscreen, which can be brought from China or bought in Egypt. My classmates and I found a reasonable price of 70 and 100 sunscreen in the supermarket here! ! !
3. If there is no place to put your luggage, you don't need to bring a second backpack. Just use this on your back when you come (I suggest you buy a good quality backpack on your back, which will be used frequently in class or travel in the future, and the notebook on your back is quite heavy). Girls' bags can be used temporarily first. After arriving in Egypt, go to Hariri market. There are all kinds of ladies' bags handmade with camel skin, which are of good quality and beautiful appearance!
4. Glasses, at least 2 pairs! ! ! For comrades who wear glasses, it is emphasized that wearing glasses in Egypt is troublesome, time-consuming and laborious, and glasses are expensive. Therefore, everyone in China should bring two or three pairs of glasses for backup in case they are broken.
5. You must wear sunglasses. In Egypt in summer, there is not a cloud in the blue sky. My eyes tingle without sunglasses. Egypt has sunglasses. The good quality is expensive, and the cheap one is afraid that you will despise it.
6. Coins are much more used than paper money on subways, buses and minibuses in Egypt. Prepare one.
Second, matters needing attention in Egypt's education management system
1. There are two parallel educational administrative systems in Egypt: secular education system and Azhar education system. In these two systems, public educational institutions at any level are free. There are three main institutions in charge of education in the Egyptian government: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Ministry of Religious Affairs of azhar. The Ministry of Education is responsible for primary schools, secondary schools, technical secondary schools, kindergartens and special education.
2. The main task of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research is to coordinate and manage higher education, and there is a University Supreme Council, which is responsible for formulating the development plan of higher education, deciding on matters related to the entrance examination, and managing its subordinate schools. The members of the Supreme Council of the University are university presidents and government officials, and the chairman is also the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
3. The Ministry of Religion and Education of Azhar is responsible for the planning and management of Azhar University and Azhar primary and secondary schools. The admission requirement for such schools is that they must be Muslims, mainly to promote the spread of Muslim culture and Arabic.
In addition to these two systems, there are other types of schools directly under the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Social Services, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Culture. The enrollment is relatively small.
5. The government is responsible for the education funds of these two systems and receives education assistance from the World Bank, UNICEF and other countries. The main source of education funds for private schools is students' tuition and fees, which are relatively high. These schools also receive government funding.
Three. Matters related to studying in Egypt
1. There will be some people on the streets of Cairo tourist area. They speak good English and pretend to chat. In fact, they suggest tourists to go shopping and eat in the shops related to them. In this case, just tell them you're welcome and don't go to the place where they recommend spending.
2. Some taxis in Cairo will put guests in hotels close to them. In this case, we should stand firm and insist on sending it to the original destination. If the taxi driver insists, let him take it to a landmark building near his residence. In addition, black-and-white taxis in Cairo do not have meters or do not use meters. Most of the conditions are not good, so it is not recommended to bring them. If you need a ride, you need to say the price in advance. It is best to take a white taxi or a yellow taxi. Both cars have meters, but sometimes they detour.
Taxi drivers in Cairo often don't change, especially those who take black and white taxis. When taking a taxi, try to bring all the change.
There are many thieves in some places. For some local people, it is a good way to put the necessary money and articles in their pockets instead of carrying wallets in the street.
You need to be extremely careful when crossing the road. The cars in Cairo drive very hard. There are few traffic lights on the streets of Cairo. Where there are traffic lights, many drivers will ignore them. Traffic police only appear at intersections during rush hours to direct traffic.
6. Avoid contact with people, especially in Jiefang Square. Most gatherings are peaceful, but they may become violent in a short time.
7. Pay attention to diarrhea. Avoid eating in Egypt: undercooked vegetables, mayonnaise, undercooked meat stuffing, cold salads, tap water and medical ice cubes. Even in a five-star hotel, you need to pay attention.
8. To go to a city with few tourists, you need to prepare money first. In cities with few tourists, ATM machines may not be easy to find.
9. Pay attention to keeping the consumption receipt after spending by credit card. A few stores will add an extra zero to their credit cards, and keep small receipts to raise objections to the banks.
10. Don't accept badly worn or damaged paper money, which is difficult to consume.
1 1. If you need to visit Cairo during Ramadan, plan your trip in advance. Many restaurants and cafes are closed during the day and public transportation is limited.
