CAIRO – 12 June 2023: Egyptian First Lady Entissar El Sisi expressed her pleasure of conversing with valedictorian Mennat Allah Emad.

“I was pleased to hold a conversation with my daughter Mennat Allah Emad, who won first place in the preparatory stage in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate. Mennat Allah is a role model for Egyptian girls, who have strong willpower and refuse to accept the impossible,” The First Lady said on her Facebook page.

“All greetings and appreciation to Mennat Allah and her mother, who was keen on defeating the difficulties to support her daughter. I would like to emphasize that the state will provide all support to her during the next stages of education until she graduates from university,” the First Lady added

She wished the student more excellence and success.

Mennat Allah has obtained a score of 279.5 out of 280, despite the financial and social hardship she went through.

The National Training Academy and the Foundation for a Decent Life in Egypt announced that it will fund her studies at the School of Excellence of Science and Technology in Egypt (STEM) for three years.
