Shawki also said yesterday that he is committed to the principle of universal free access to education and that the ministry isn\u2019t backing away from building public-private partnership schools<\/a>. Relations between the ministry and private schools have been tense since Shawki\u2019s predecessor placed the International School of Choueifat and the American International School of Cairo under administrative and financial supervision last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
