A star student in Egypt was fails all seven of her exams, without scoring a single mark.
A star student in Egypt was shocked to discover she has failed all seven of her exams, without scoring a single mark.
Mariam Malak who had aspirations to go to medical school, had scored high marks in previous exams in that past few years.
Malak and her family believe she is a victim of corruption in the Egyptian education system, it has been reported. "I was completely shocked. I couldn't hear anyone, I couldn't speak. I thought how can that happen? How can I get zero?" Mariam told the BBC.
Her brother feels, the school or examination board might have swapped her paper with a student who didn't fare well. Media reports say it is Mariam's Coptic Christian faith that may be the cause she was discriminated against.
Thousands have come out to support Mariam and currently 36,883 people have liked a social media page, titled Tears of Mariam. Many have sent heartfelt messages on social media with the #IBelieveMariam.
What real discrimination looks like.
Bring her and her family here, Expel 5 Mooselimb families back to egypt.
While progressives cheer.
Sounds good to me!
Look in the dictionary under the definition of “3rd World Dump” and there’s a reference to Egypt.
I’ve travelled a lot and lived abroad. There are poor and violent countries where at least people have a common, if vague, sense of justice, or there is something in the culture which, despite present chaos of political and economic dysfunction is a commonly accepted, cultural touchstone for proper behavior and civilization, even if it is not evident in society at the moment.
Egypt (and other countries in the M.E, Pakistan being another major one), in my view, lacks even that.
Calm down. Harvard et al will probably offer her a scholarship.
What? She’s just paying an academic jizya. What’s wrong with that?
Only if she was a muslime.
Harvard will never support a Christian.
Statistically, even totally random answers would give a score greater than zero. For 7 tests to do the same for a student that had high marks in previous tests ...
This is a case of being so blatant as to send a clear message. You are beneath the ruling religion and we will keep you there forever. Convert now or accept your fate.
