In summer 2017, the small school Hebet El-Nil opened with a first kindergarten group, from which, already in the following year, a small elementary school with one first grade developed. The school is primarily aimed at children of the farm workers who work in the surrounding area. Many of them are dissatisfied with the educational system in Egypt, where up to 70 children attend a class and learn by shouting in unison whatever the teacher says. The need for an alternative is great, and the school will continue to grow. Now a first school building was completed. A further construction phase is to begin in summer.
