Additional Context: This information was collected as part of The Aid Report’s original reporting, “Built with U.S. aid, Egypt’s elite science academies now face collapse.” The feature story examined how a network of Egyptian STEM academies once held up as a model for modern education is unraveling after the abrupt withdrawal of U.S. support, exposing the fragility of reforms built on external expertise.

Without USAID engineers, teachers and administrators struggle to replace a closed technological system, which was originally built and controlled by American vendors contracted through the program. This lack of access means that programs designed to be experimental are being scaled back into theoretical lessons.
