Please dont let this put you off the move but education is one of the more stressful things I have been looking at for our move and for me my children have to be happy or it just isnt going to work out for us. I have heard of other fmilies that have been in Hurgarda but have had to move to Alexandra or Cairo when kids have gone to university - lots to consider

Hi, thank you very much for all the information, i tell the truth i feel a bit down, my concern is the quality of teaching and also the school has to follow the uk curiculum , if we pay cheaper to get low education then for sure my son will be very disappointed. it is a very hard decision, i am looking forward to move there and try a new life but i hope schools want be an obstacle. i thought about to pay home schooling for them in the uk and they will travel to uk to take their exams, at least uk qualification are recognised everywhere, what do you think about that? when are you planing to move there?
