The Contemporary Egyptian Politics program offers students a comprehensive understanding of the political and social scene in Egypt today. Students engage in a wide range of onsite lectures, starting with the founding of modern Egypt by Muhammad Ali in the early 19th century, continuing through British occupation, the Egyptian monarchy, the revolution in 1952, and the events surrounding the Arab Spring.
In addition to the formal lectures and meetings, students will be introduced to the Egyptian Colloquial Arabic language, engage their Egyptian peers in dialogues, participate in numerous cultural activities, visit historical sites in and out of Cairo, and meet with representatives from Egyptian governmental and non-governmental organizations.
America-Mideast Education and Testing Services, Inc. (AMIDEAST) announced today that the internationally recognized college entrance exam, the SAT® (formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test), will be administered at the Indian School Muscat, in Darsait (Way No.1950, Building No.3175), during the 2010-2011 academic year. Certified by Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton, New Jersey to administer the SAT®, AMIDEAST includes this service in its portfolio of programs to facilitate the U.S. university application process for students and professionals who wish to obtain higher education degrees in America.
Nearly every university in America uses the SAT® as a common and objective scale for evaluating a student’s readiness for undergraduate study. While secondary school grades are also a useful indicator of how students will perform in college, there is great variation in grading standards and course rigor within and across schools. More than 80 years ago, the College Board – a not-for-profit membership association based in the U.S. with the mission of connecting students to college success and opportunity – created the first standardized college entrance test to help colleges and universities identify students who could succeed at their institutions. ETS now produces the SAT® for the College Board, and over two million students around the world take the test each year. For more information about the SAT®, visit http://www.collegeboard.com/
