Khadija was born in 1998 in Burundi but has been living in Egypt since she was 2 years old. She attended Africa Hope learning center for more than 10 years and defines her experience there as being really bad. She could just identify two things that she liked. First of all, when she began there in grade 1, the school had a nice building in Heliopolis with the biggest library that she has ever seen. The second thing was that in African Hope they taught her English really well. I can confirm this, her English is good. The good quality English language teaching was confirmed by Victoria who also attended this school. They changed their building three times during her stay there. She explained that this was annoying for her. They also changed the curriculum many times. She was doing the Sudanese curriculum, and soon after this, the learning center introduced the British curriculum and then again returned to the Sudanese curriculum. She explained that the bureaucracy there was so bad that she even needed to repeat the content of grade 9 three times. There were also no resources, no books, and the teachers (all of them from Africa) were supposed to organize their own classes and subjects without any guidance. The teachers felt lost as many of them really did not have the proper knowledge to teach the subjects they were supposed to teach. The learning center also struggled with internet connections to search. Many did not know what and where to search, finding which resources, what content, the curriculum, and other things. Another problem was the curriculum by itself, it was the Sudanese curriculum. This curriculum is supposed to allow you to go to universities in Egypt, Sudan, and South Sudan. Khadija was not really motivated to do it. She saw that most of her classmates were failing the Sudanese exam for entering university in grade 12, therefore,  she dropped out of school in grade 10. She also explained that the ideas of African Hope are not accurate regarding the nature of the refugee crisis in our current era in Egypt where resettlement takes over 20 years. African Hope was founded in 1998 with the purpose to provide temporary and minimum standards of Education to refugee children. In that way, parents could work and children in the meanwhile would be at school. Education was perceived as something temporary until resettlement. Currently, resettlement takes much longer, therefore, qualified education is needed also for refugees. African Hope really does not listen to refugee children and their needs, they are not making any efforts to be recognized as a school and to offer them an internationally accepted curriculum. They really do not want to do so. They receive huge support from powerful donors such as Malvern College, and the UNHCR. They are well-known and their reputation among refugee families is good. They give a good external image, children wear uniforms, the building is nice and colorful, and there is a guard outside. But there is still stuff going on, the children access schools through ration systems, and many finish at 18.30 at night when it is dark. This is not a safe time for them to return home alone, even less for females. African Hope also does not offer secondary education, just until grade 8. African Hope takes a lot of interns that also teach them.
