Patriotism courses for Egyptians abroad highlight the Egyptian state's achievements and national projects, and emphasize the importance of disseminating the right information about Egypt and countering those who spread negative ideas and rumors.

CAIRO — Egypt’s Immigration Minister Nabila Makram said Aug. 1 that she seeks to help young Egyptians living abroad not to be intellectually influenced by thoughts against their homeland.

To accomplish this, she said, the ministry will be offering free courses on national security for Egyptian academics and students at Egyptian embassies abroad. These courses aim to introduce young Egyptians to the development projects the Egyptian state is undertaking as part of its 2030 vision and to improve the image they have of their homeland.
