Egypt (1000/1500 amounted to € / year).
Then there are the semi-public or semi-private schools, financed by foreign embassies and the Egyptian state. The level of education 'and well below the minimum number of children in class' 40. The annual fee ranges between 4000 and 2000 Egyptian pound (equal to € 750/400 per year).
Finally we have public schools that are 40% of the population. The level of hygiene and 'under the decent, each class (eg primary) has about 85 pupils, teachers who do not make it to contain even more lessons are but forcing students to incredibly high tuition MANDATORY if you want to spend the year.
HEALTH ': As for schools, hospitals are also broken down by categories, and here we have private hospitals, very clean and with every type of technology. You pay by the day and one night (not including treatment and medication) costs from 1000 to 700 Egyptian pounds (about € 150/100 per day).
The public however, but hospitals are not definable clusters of microbes where the chances of getting far exceed those of Healing and where viruses such as Hepatitis B or C affects 25% of patients . Dirty limit human, compassionate under hygienic conditions and even then its free because even if few are ALWAYS paid.
PUBLIC POLICY: since he 'was inserted in 81 the Law on the state of emergency , the poor class of the population (40%) lived years of real fear. daily in order to draw up reports, the police arrested kids at random in the slums and then subject them to physical, sexual, psychological unprecedented daily .. anyone bring a long beard, a sign of Islam believes, was arrested and subjected to the same violence because they are considered terrorist.
Forget the identity card at home followed that arrests and violence .. The boys could disappear for days and worse for years and no one could neither seek nor know where they were. If someone died during torture in a cell or was not a problem. Police reigns supreme and could do whatever he wanted. I myself have witnessed on several occasions to despicable acts of the policemen who were using the boys as a hobby or even worse I've seen beat up old people because they had dared to pass them with the car .. and who meddles pecked a bullet. And it 's why in the early days of the Revolution, People have 'thrown at police and police stations with ferocity setting fire to every track police
ECONOMY: The state salaries are below the limit of survival .. an employee who has worked for 15 years takes monthly 250 Egyptian pound, a street sweeper 120 Egyptian pounds, a nurse in a public hospital 150 Egyptian pounds, a master of a public school 200 Egyptian pound life .. and how much it costs?
A kilo of stew costs 50 Egyptian pounds , a chicken 30 Egyptian pound, a kilo of apples 15 Egyptian pound, a kilo of zucchini 5 Egyptian pound, a package of baby diapers also 65 Egyptian pound. It 's so that 40% of the population lives in Egypt.
FREEDOM ': There are economic figures, journalists and writers to whom and' been forbidden to live in Egypt as telling the truth. There are books that were censored and politicians arrested just because you put against the government, saying their opinion. First of all Ayman Nour who ventured in the last election saying that it was false elections and for this he was arrested and thrown in prison for many years.
beginning of the Revolution appeared on the market today are a lot of books censored, and the state television (until now only required to give the news passed from the government) does is to interview people who had not been allowed into the country
I live in Cairo for 13 years or so, I knew people of every religion and social level, I worked in semi-public schools and language centers for poor people, I have lived in poor neighborhoods and eaten with people who define poor 'little .. I shot the whole Egypt, I visited villages on the Nile in Upper Egypt to drink water from taps and 'a privilege and where to go to school' risky because you have to cross the Nile in boats of wood that can not resist (them die every week at least 5 children drowned), and after everything I've seen are 1000% certain that the fall of the old government is only good and that ' Egypt and the Egyptians deserve to live under humane conditions, where human rights must be respected and where people and their lives have value.

Tutti dobbiamo metterci sempre nei panni dei meno fortunati, perché, chissà, un giorno potremmo essere noi al loro posto.. e per questo desidero ringraziare tutti i ragazzi egiziani, proprio i benestanti, le nuove generazioni, quelle di facebook e twitter che hanno spinto, guidato e lottato per il loro Paese e la loro gente nella prospettiva di un futuro dignitoso per tutti.
Grazie a te jasmine per questa interessante e sentita testimonianza, spero che sia utile a molto per comprendere meglio ciò you can not see with the knowledge that we are all one ..

WHY 'THE REVOLUTION ..
In many, perhaps too many in the world are wondering 'cause, after 30 years, the Egyptian people have suddenly decided to give a final blow to the government Mubarak. I, half of which 'are Italian, with half' of my life I lived in Italy - democratic country - I fully understand the motivations of the people and I must say I am very, very surprised of the strength of endurance and patience showed that the Egyptian people for all these years.
Come on holiday in Egypt is not 'live as if many destinations and take you lightly in contact with the reality of the country, completely conceal the many other giving fictitious and fanciful idea of \u200b\u200bthe Egyptian people and the reality that they live daily.
I want to personally give a voice to the problems for the past 30 years, 40% of Egyptian population living below the limit of survival, with no possibility of studying, caring and unfortunately eating.
EDUCATION: The Egyptian education system and 'split, as the company itself in categories and classes. There are private schools, dedicated to the highest income classes where children live lucky Education in a complete and sound. These language schools, which speaks as first language or English or French, where annual tuition ranges from 8,000 to 15,000 pound Then there are the semi-public or semi-private schools, financed by foreign embassies and the Egyptian state. The level of education 'and well below the minimum number of children in class' 40. The annual fee ranges between 4000 and 2000
Finally we have public schools that are 40% of the population. The level of hygiene and 'under the decent, each class (eg primary) has about 85 pupils, teachers who do not make it to contain even more lessons are but forcing students to incredibly high tuition MANDATORY if you want to spend the year.
