The Future of Culture in Egypt

A description of Taha Hussein's views of how education at all levels should be designed for Egypt.

"... I see Egypt responding to my plea for ever greater efforts to banish ignorance from her midst and provide everyone - rich and poor, strong and weak, keen and dull, young and old - with his portion of knowledge. The delights of learning will permeate their soul and its light will illuminate every dwelling from castle to hovel. A new life and a new energy will infuse Egypt and will turn her into a veritable paradise on earth."
