At a dinner arranged by the Alexandria Trust at the Royal Society in London in his honor, Serageldin delivered remarks on “Education and the Future of the Arab World”. His talk first covered the events in Egypt and the ongoing turmoil following the Arab Spring; and he went on to speak passionately of the vital role of education in the future of the Arab World. The remarks were very well received by the distinguished audience.
Founded in London in 2011 by Egyptian philanthropist Salah Khalil, the Alexandria Trust shares a vision with the Library of Alexandria for an Arab region once again home to world class standards of education, recapturing the ancient traditions of Alexandria as a centre of learning.
