Egyptian university students are visiting military-owned companies and factories to learn about their projects and production processes.
The Every New Day initiative, a joint program by the Ministry of Military Production and the Ministry of Higher Education, started Sept. 27 in universities nationwide and will conclude in December. “This initiative will contribute to fostering values of patriotism and work ethics in young people,” said Minister of State for Military Production Mohamed Saeed el-Assar. “It will also significantly contribute to raising awareness among a whole generation of young people about the resources and capabilities of their country, as well as what the state's various institutions are doing to enhance societal development,” Assar said in a statement published on the ministry's website.
