“Teach to Lead” STEM Program Graduates 57 Egyptian Teachers

U.S. Senator Timothy Sheehy spoke at the graduation ceremony for 57 Egyptian teachers from the Teach to Lead STEM program, a collaborative initiative between The Boeing Company, a U.S. corporation, and Amideast aimed at advancing STEM education across Egypt’s public school system. U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Evyenia Sidereas, Boeing regional leadership, and other distinguished guests from the education and STEM sectors attended the graduation ceremony.

Funded by The Boeing Company and implemented by Amideast, the program provides in-service teachers with 60 hours of advanced training in project-based learning, technology integration, and leadership skills. The curriculum is designed to align with Egypt’s Education 2.0 reforms and empowers educators to apply modern methods in the classroom. The 57 graduates, including 42 women, represent a significant milestone in improving the quality and accessibility of STEM education in Egypt’s public schools.

Senator Sheehy said, “This collaboration between Boeing and Amideast will empower educators, uplift students, and create shared prosperity for both Egypt and the United States. U.S. companies have a long tradition of investing at home in people and in their operations around the world.”

Education is at the heart of the relationship between the United States and Egypt. More than 27,000 Egyptians have participated in U.S. government exchange programs, and the U.S. Embassy provides professional development opportunities to thousands of English language teachers throughout Egypt every year. Since 2011, the United States has partnered with Egypt to establish 21 new STEM schools, providing Egyptian high school students with greater access to quality education and skills development.
