Learning by running a project

Students practise business decisions through simulations and educational games, then present real projects at bazaars and exhibitions. The school-based format gives teenagers an opportunity to apply financial and commercial concepts before entering the workforce.

Expanding the school network

At the announcement, the programme had reached more than 600 students through over ten schools in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Three additional levels were planned for the first quarter. The targets for the end of 2026 were more than 30 school partnerships and 6,000 students, with funding supporting delivery capacity and programme development.

Where the funding goes

  • School partnerships and regional operations
  • Additional programme levels
