class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>Foreign relations in general, and the Iran nuclear agreement in particular, dominated the airwaves last night<\/strong>, with every talking head save Henry Kissinger making the rounds. But the most surprising news from the talking heads was that<strong> the government could be bowing down to pressure over education reform.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-01\"><\/a> <strong>Is the government really caving to public pressure on its education reform drive?<\/strong> After taking heat over the new education reform strategy, Education Minister Tarek Shawky apparently decided to postpone implementing reform plan for middle schools (grades 7-9) to FY2019-2020 instead of launching it in September. He tells Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi that K-6 classes in public schools and in the new Japanese schools will see changes in the fall. He said an assessments of the new strategy would be held in the summer of 2019 to gauge whether the system can be implemented nationwide (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qzXjadI8_MI\">watch, runtime: 5:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shawky dismiss the notion that the ministry was pressured to take this decision<\/strong> but acknowledged that the controversy arose due to a lack of understanding by the public. He reiterated that the strategy has been put forth after consultations with experts. He urged people to refrain from worrying about insignificant nooks and cracks and attempt to see the bigger picture of reform \u2014 something which had long been called for (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IKdhYLm6jk4\">watch, runtime: 14:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background:<\/strong> The new primary school system aims to make it mandatory to teach subjects including STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in English at ht the middle school level. Primary school education in public schools will be taught in Arabic. The reforms build on the ministry\u2019s drive to do away with rote memorization by Thanaweaya Amma (high school), as does its plan to do away with examinations for students below third grade. Readers should note that the reforms have no bearing on private and international schools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allow us to beat the drum a moment, please:<\/strong> The minister should not give up. The reforms appear sensible and very much in line with what members of the business community (to say nothing of hundreds of thousands of parents) have been saying for years. But cabinet as a whole needs to learn from Shawky\u2019s experience: As in the past, the problem isn\u2019t in the reform, it is in the fact that cabinet did nothing to sell it to the nation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump\u2019s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear accord choked the airwaves with political and economic analysts.<\/strong> Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib spoke with former IMF consultant Fakhry El Fiky, who spoke on the risk and impact the decision would have on oil prices and how that would impact Egypt. A tumultous oil market leaves next year\u2019s budget in a precarious situation, he says (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OfDSPG3ofiw\">watch, runtime: 39:28<\/a>). Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamis Al Hadidi sat down with a slew of commentators and political analysts to discuss the ramifications of the move on international relations among Western powers and impact on the Middle East (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4NE6YBWB2k0\">watch, runtime: 5:55<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk on diplomacy continued with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s meeting with his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni and the whole GERD issue.<\/strong> Adib added that the dispute with Ethiopia over the Nile makes relations with other Nile Basin countries like Uganda all the more important (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9HNztXYHC-Q\">watch, runtime: 5:12<\/a>). He later called for awareness campaigns be made encouraging rationing water use (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WzkSNAtBtLI\">watch, runtime: 4:08<\/a>). Ittihadeya spokesman Bassam Rady highlighted Uganda\u2019s importance as another source of Nile water, noting that 15% of the river\u2019s waters flow from the Lake Victoria (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m1eGbxXy2u0\">watch, runtime: 8:30<\/a>). It was also covered on Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 3:32). Former Irrigation Minister Mohamed Nasr Al Din Allam echoed Adib\u2019s point. In an interview with Yahduth fi Masr, he noted Uganda\u2019s political weight in Africa, which may help with political manoeuvring or pushing for an agreement with Nile basin countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He also noted the strategic importance of South Sudan<\/strong> and a transit point for river from Uganda, and a place where large amounts of Nile water heading to Egypt is lost (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/579925309052446\/\">watch, runtime: 2:00<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt\u2019s debt levels and the budget deficit appear to be the two biggest concerns <\/strong>in the House of Representatives on the FY2018-19 budget, parliament spokesperson Salah Hassaballah tells Al Hayah A Youm (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3M0PfjJ6DqA\">watch, runtime: 3:44<\/a>).

Uber is \u201cquite happy\u201d with the changes to the law, particularly clauses on data sharing and privacy, he told us yesterday. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ride-Hailing Apps Act won\u2019t force companies to share real-time data with the government<\/strong>. The controversial Articles 9 and 10 now strike a balance between data privacy and national security, Waked said. The two articles, which have changed drastically from their initial form, now \u201cprovide a lot of details on preserving user data privacy,\u201d he said, explaining that article 9 especially was \u201ctoned down a lot,\u201d as clauses that would have given the government unrestricted access to real-time data were scrapped and replaced with others that mandate ride-hailing companies to make information accessible only upon request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clauses stipulating onshore data storage were also removed from article 10<\/strong> after Uber managed to convince legislators that cloud storage is the much safer option recommended by global tech companies and experts. \u201cWe take national security very seriously, but we also take our user privacy very seriously,\u201d Waked said. \u201cUber never provides any government with real-time access to customer data and we always fight to protect their privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(We were wrong yesterday in our assertion that the House had signed off on the act without amending articles 9 and 10. The final text of the act requires ride hailing companies operating in Egypt to retain local user data for 180 days and to make information available to state agencies when requested. We\u2019ve updated <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/05\/08\/parliament-looks-to-smother-ride-hailing-in-the-baby-crib-by-approving-an-even-worse-version-of-the-ride-hailing-apps-act\/\">yesterday\u2019s story on our website<\/a> accordingly.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what about the white taxis? <\/strong>The act gives ride-sharing companies three months to come up with a strategy to incorporate white taxis into their fleets. Earlier versions of the act had given the prime minister authority to essentially force ride-sharing companies to abide by a single set of guidelines to add regular cabs to their service. \u201cNow it\u2019s in the hands of the companies,\u201d Waked said. \u201cUber already works with taxis in other countries, so we\u2019ll take our learnings from there and spend the next three months studying the best way to incorporate them, because to us, it\u2019s an absolute necessity to maintain a certain level of quality and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>As usual, the fine print will be in the executive regulations, <\/strong>which will set final licensing fees and fines, which Uber believes are too high. The most important among those are the high licensing fees of EGP 1,000 the law sets for drivers, according to Waked. \u201cWe will be working over the next two months to make sure that the executive decrees that are issued take the drivers\u2019 side,\u201d he said, stressing the importance of keeping the service both economically sensible for drivers and affordable for users. Waked also expects the regulations to adjust licensing fees that companies have to pay, which could hinder new players from entering the market after they jumped \u201cin the last minute\u201d to a maximum of EGP 30 mn in the final draft from EGP 10 mn initially.
