Egyptian families face higher costs before school starts
The report reveals the significant financial burdens faced by Egyptian families at the start of the school year. Costs for school supplies sometimes exceed 3,000 Egyptian pounds, in addition to school fees that can reach up to 25,000 pounds annually for a single child. Excessive school demands, including personal hygiene products and stationery at high prices, contribute further to the financial strain, especially amid inflation that reached 14.9% in July. The Egyptian government has launched the "Ahlan Schools" initiative to help families reduce expenses, offering discounts of up to 40% at special exhibitions, with the goal of easing the financial pressures on families before the start of the new school year.
