Few days separate us from the results of "Thanaweya Amma" exams, considered a crossroads in the future of any Egyptian student. During those days, many advertisements come on surface to exploit the students' dreams and ambitions. Here the role of the "broker" evolves to promote for fake universities or foreign universities which issues informal certificates. The literary section's students become doctors!
Believe it or not !…It has been found lately that a number of ‘Thanwaya amma’ students registered in the literary section, and technical diplomas holders obtained fake certificates to practice medicine in Egypt.
In recent years, the doctors' syndicate has received many requests from students who obtained certificates from Eastern European countries and other countries where education business activity is spreading.
Foreign education mafia
It is no longer an educational market-an issue of supply and demand- or a money-making educational service. Rather, a global business used to achieve its goals by all means even if it is illegal; thus students fall victim to many scams and con.
A number of Egyptian students filed a complaint with the Egyptian foreign and immigration ministries, saying that they had been subjected to large-scale fraud by the education intermediaries who recruited them to study at the university in Ukraine, without having the teaching staff or necessary requirements for the study.
The university and student mediators and brokers’ partners threatened the students with dismissal and deportation from the country, if they transferred their papers from the university to universities other than those dominated by the brokers they came through, according to the students.

Immigration Ministry calls families to be cautious:
The ministry of immigration called for the utmost caution by students and their families to avoid being scammed by education brokers in Ukraine who register them in exchange for a large fee at non-credible universities, allowing brokers to blackmail and threaten the students regularly or implicate them in problems, thus endangering their future.
Offensive accidents
An ambiguous accident occurred and three Egyptian students drowned in the Volga River in Russia, but the ministry of education and cultural attaché office in Russia knew nothing about them.
The students like others traveled to Russia via online universities’ brokers. In addition to the accident of Abanoub Damian Habib, an Egyptian student in the third year of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Lviv, western Ukraine, died during a trip with his colleagues, and his body was returned to his family. The deceased had a dream to return home with the title of a pharmacist.
Doctor's Syndicate rise up for the sake of the profession
At this time every year, doctors' syndicate mentions the enrollment conditions for graduates of foreign and private colleges inside and outside Egypt to close the door in front of the students of the literary section who wish to study medicine or a student who got 50% and wants to study medicine.
Among those conditions:
-The study of biology, chemistry and physics is required as eligible subjects to study medicine, and a high school diploma (Scientific section) must be presented or certificate that explains the study of these subjects.
- The difference in the total result of the "Thawnawya Amma" should not exceed 5% of the minimum score for admission to the Egyptian public medical colleges in the same year of obtaining the high school certificate.
-Regarding those who obtained a bachelor's degree in medicine from outside Egypt, they are required to bring a statement from the donor country stating that the certificate holder is allowed to practice the profession.
Moreover, in order to preserve the doctors' level of professionalism, even those who graduated from private universities in Egypt, the syndicate stipulated that every faculty must include a hospital with a number of beds to train the students in order to be qualified enough to join the syndicate.
