CAIRO –Schools in Egypt have been in an on-again-off-again cycle since the beginning of the school year due to worries over the swine flu threat. Since Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif announced that schools would start the year a week late, there has been a sense of apprehension among school official, teachers, parents and students about if or how the school year would play out.
Despite the relatively low amount of known cases of the virus, the closing of schools has had a large effect on the many residents, including IQOU students studying in Egypt.
