Additional Context: This quote 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.

This quote is attributed to a Ministry of Education official familiar with the STEM academy portfolio, on the condition of anonymity. They explained that the handover was intended as a gradual transition of expertise, but the process faltered before it could be completed.
