It also aims to enable an e-learning culture, building knowledge societies, and support and develop the digital capabilities and skills of youth in the governorate.

The MoU will last for two years, and its scope of work includes educating 1000 women and girls on financial inclusion and the safe internet. At the same time, it will empower 500 women and girls on the basics of inclusiveness and financial independence.

It also seeks to train human elements working in the e-learning industry and develop the skills of employees by certifying e-learning centres (the Cisco Academies Programme), in addition to training students, graduates, and faculty at Kafr El-Sheikh University to use content production programmes.

The MoU also includes using the services and applications of the “Kenana Online” platform to build knowledge societies online with the participation of the community.

This will include all its governmental, civil, and private institutions as well as experts in all areas of development in the governorate. This aims to create and develop the governorate’s portal for comprehensive development, to include several sub-sites for the district office.

During his visit to the governorate, Talaat also inspected the surveillance system in the Crisis Room covering the city of Kafr El-Sheikh with cameras, to monitor the streets and work to provide excellent services to citizens.

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology seeks to immediately detect anything happening on the streets the moment of its occurrence, and to deal with it accordingly, in coordination with the concerned agencies.

The minister’s visit will witness the opening of two post offices after their development. He will also inspect the School of Intellectual Education, visit the redeveloped Telecom Egypt customer service centre in Kafr El-Sheikh, and hold a video conference with a number of beneficiaries of the training programmes and services provided by the Ministry to the residents of the governorate.
