Dr Amany El-far is an education executive and policy leader with over three decades of experience spanning classroom teaching, school leadership, corporate partnerships and national-level strategy in Egypt. She currently serves as Minister Assistant at Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education, and as CEO, Managing Director and Member of the Board of the Egypt for Education Management Company (EEMC), a government-owned entity with a capital base of two billion Egyptian pounds that owns and operates 16 Nile Egyptian International Schools, with plans to expand to 25 by 2030.
Throughout her career at the Ministry, Dr El-far has played a central role in building Egypt’s education infrastructure. She founded and led the Ministry’s first Public–Private Partnerships Unit, designing the legal and operational blueprint that enabled the construction of 18 schools through investor partnerships. She also served as manager of the Nile Egyptian International Certificate Unit, overseeing the bilingual curriculum developed in partnership with the International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a qualification benchmarked as equivalent to GCE A Levels and recognised by universities worldwide. Earlier in her career, she coordinated Egypt’s STEM Schools programme and led Oracle’s education initiatives across the Middle East and Africa, impacting over three million students and thousands of trained educators across six countries.
Dr El-far holds a Bachelor of Education in English from Al-Mansoura University, an MBA from Sadat Academy, and a PhD focused on the impact of digital learning in international education systems. She is a frequent keynote speaker at international forums, including BETT London, Qatar Foundation’s International Day of Education and the Advantage Oman Forum.
Through the EdTech Fellowship, Dr El-far hopes to deepen her understanding of how technology can scale high-quality, affordable education, particularly through public–private models, and to exchange insights with global leaders working towards equitable digital transformation in their own systems.
