Under the hashtag “Noah’s Right to Education,” the pioneers of communication in Egypt launched a campaign to defend 8-year-old child He was denied education and schools refused to accept him despite his genius!
The story of little Noah began when his family applied to attend school like all his peers, but his Asperger syndrome, which made him speak only English since his birth, as well as his autism spectrum, prevented him from achieving his dream and ambition, as all schools refused to accept him.
Make movies!
While his mother, Iman Omar, explained to Al Arabiya.net that her son was born with a syndrome that made him fluent in English without learning, but he cannot speak Arabic!
She also added that his other talents began to appear some time ago, as “he will prepare cartoon films, following drawing characters that he creates, montages, and productions as well, in addition to that, he records his voice on them!”

In addition, she confirmed that she tried to enroll him in international schools, cancel the subjects taught in Arabic, and distribute her grades to other subjects, but she was constantly rejected because of his illness and autism.
The mother revealed that she had listened to the advice of some officials, and decided to postpone the enrollment of her young child in the school for the current year, so that he might enroll in “experimental government-affiliated language schools”, but she faced the same problem, because of a clause set by those schools that prevents the enrollment of children with disabilities or autism due to the lack of capabilities or teachers who can deal with those cases.
Noah
The biggest problem
Also, she explained that she went to 19 other schools, but they rejected him all because of his illness in our neighborhood, or because he was two months older than the prescribed age for enrollment in other times.
However, she stressed that the biggest problem is that her child has entered his eighth year, and with the passage of time, he will exceed the prescribed age to enroll in school, and will therefore be deprived of education permanently and forever.

In the face of this humanitarian issue, social media activists launched the hashtag “Noah’s right to education”, calling for government intervention to save the gifted child and enroll him in schools, and not deprive him of his right to education.
They also appealed to the Minister of Education to exclude him from all decisions and conditions that hinder and abort his dream and that of his family.
