Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Hani Sewilam announced on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that the ministry will provide comprehensive support to ensure the success of the Egyptian-Italian Agro Schools for Water Technology. Minister Sewilam highlighted these institutions as a pioneering model for specialized technical education.

During a meeting with ministry officials, Sewilam reviewed the operational status of the schools, which are established in five governorates. He emphasized the importance of close coordination with the Ministry of Education to guarantee effective teaching methodologies, robust practical training, and the graduation of highly qualified individuals.

Students enrolled in these programs will gain practical experience through hands-on training at various water facilities, including pumping stations, barrages, and irrigation infrastructure. This training will be conducted under the direct supervision of experienced engineers and technicians from the ministry.

The curriculum is designed to cover critical areas such as water resources management, infrastructure development, maintenance of mechanical and electrical equipment, and advanced water treatment and desalination techniques. This comprehensive approach aims to equip students with the necessary skills to meet the demands of the labor market.
