Memphis entered a new era of growth and enlightenment. We realized that while defending our city was essential, our true strength lay in knowledge and education. It was time to build schools that would nurture young minds and pave the way for a brighter future.
Khaled and I, along with a dedicated group of educators, embarked on a mission to establish a network of schools throughout Memphis. We believed that education was the key to unlocking the full potential of our people and ensuring that the wisdom of Egypt continued to flourish. We scouted various locations within Memphis, carefully choosing spots that were easily accessible to children from different parts of the city. The locations were selected to promote a sense of community and ease of transportation. Architects and builders were hired to design and construct the school buildings. They were designed with large windows to let in ample natural light and ventilation to create a conducive learning environment. Each school had multiple classrooms, a library, and open spaces for outdoor activities. Educators and scholars from within our city were consulted to design a curriculum that encompassed a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, literature, history, philosophy, and the arts. We aimed for a well-rounded education that would nurture critical thinking and creativity. We sought out passionate and knowledgeable educators from within our community and neighboring regions. Teacher training programs were established to ensure that our instructors were well-equipped to deliver quality education. Our schools were open to all children, regardless of their background or social status. Scholarships were established to ensure that even the most disadvantaged children had the opportunity to receive an education. Each school was equipped with a library filled with books, scrolls, and manuscripts, fostering a love of reading and research among our students. These libraries became invaluable centers of learning and research.
To encourage holistic development, we introduced extracurricular activities such as music, art, sports, and debate clubs. These activities allowed students to explore their talents and interests.
We encouraged parents to actively participate in their children's education. Parent-teacher associations were formed to facilitate communication and collaboration between educators To mark the achievements of our students, we organized grand graduation ceremonies. These events celebrated not only academic success but also character development and community engagement.
Our schools became beacons of enlightenment, drawing students from all walks of life. They were places where young minds flourished, where the wisdom of Egypt was passed on to the next generation, and where the seeds of innovation and progress were sown
