Obama wants Egyptian students to get more from college
WND ^ | June 28, 2013 | Steve Peacock

Education system products lack capability of making nation 'center of innovation'

President Obama wants to ensure all American adults obtain at least a year of college or career training while regaining America’s role as “world leader in college completion,” the U.S. Department of Education recently touted. The Obama administration then launched a new program to bring about such developments – in Egypt.

According to a U.S. Agency for International Development “concept paper” that WND obtained through routine database research, “Egypt now confronts a serious knowledge and skills deficit” that impedes its ability to compete globally.

U.S. taxpayers, some of whom this September will pay upwards of $45,000 annually for their own college educations, now face the additional burden of helping Egyptians make better use of their advanced degrees.

...since he was bankrolled by Arabs it makes sense, more unqualified professors dumped on America. It’s like buying a very expensive “on line diploma”, ...it makes it possible to become an “editor” of a law review and then go on to become a less than average junior runner for a law firm.

Egypt is fortunate to have such a compassionate president.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a president who cared as much for Americans?

Egypt is armed by the United States, fed by France, receives its political instructions from the Wahhabi in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and now it is apparent that they can’t even educate themselves beyond religious dogma. This is the very definition of a failed political, social and economic culture. Any “investment” the United States makes there will be squandered. US foreign policy is being designed and implemented by silly people who have grandiose visions of nation building using other peoples money.

Obama may have been bankrolled by Arabs, but he was assuredly bankrolled by Wall St as insurance that no one would be prosecuted for stealing trillions and our economy, and bailed out by taxpayer debt that would be used to buy up distressed public assets on the cheap.. We needed mass prosecutions and Obama protected them.

Obama administration then launched a new program to bring about such developments – in Egypt...such as innovative ways to build a small nuclear device, pilot training for the new F-16’s and proper camouflage so Israeli jets can’t locate and destroy them soon after, lighter and composite bomb making materials, futuristic lubricants for assault weapons, and the use of terrorism in diplomatic and political platforms....more great stuff everyday from Zero!

I think Egypt has been facing this deficit for about two thousand years...

Egyptians with advanced degrees DO put them to good use.

They generally use them to get the frack out of Egypt.

No aid for Egypt until there is an end to religious
persecution there.

More?

In addition to Islamic studies, they could add Marxism and Community Organizing.
