He stressed the importance of enhancing supervision and specialized management to improve the system of daycare nurseries, to help working mothers to focus on their jobs and support them in balancing between their work and child care responsibilities.

The president also revealed that the government works to convert two classrooms in every public primary schools into nurseries, leveraging the wide geographical spread of these schools across Egypt.

“With over 50,000 schools nationwide, this initiative could create an additional 50,000 to 60,000 daycare facilities. This effort has been ongoing for the past four years,” Sisi stated, expressing hope for new innovative ideas to further expand nurseries availability. (MORE)
