Edutainment comes to Egypt — with EGP 40 mn in grands

Watch sixteen of Egypt’s best schools go head to head on Egypt’s first edutainment program, Al Abakera, launching tonight at 7pm CLT on Al Kahera Wal Nas and then running every Friday and Saturday in the same time slot. Al Abakera is a regional TV game show that blurs the line between education and entertainment — a competition that encourages team work, aptitude, school pride and that focuses on the good coming out of our educational system. The show aims to mix fun with knowledge and talent. The first season will see 128 students compete and showcase their capabilities on regional television to win the title of champion. Program sponsor the National Bank of Egypt is ponying-up EGP 40 mn prize money to fund the development of the school system as well as scholarships and university aid for the best students. Watch the trailer here (run time: 0:44)
