Egypt is one of the founding members of UNESCO. Opened in 1947, the UNESCO Office Cairo represents the Organization in the country. Regarding education, Egypt was one of the first countries in the region to set up a national committee within the framework of Education for All (EFA).
Egypt is one of 11 countries chosen to pilot-test UNESCO national education support strategies (UNESS). Launched in May 2006, this initiative aims to help governments establish coherent education policies in order to achieve Education for All.
Egypt is also one of the 35 countries implementing the UNESCO Literacy Initiative for Empowerment (LIFE), a 10-year initiative aimed at achieving the goals of the United Nations Literacy Decade (2003-2012).
