Luxor’s Educational Directorate investigated a Coptic Social Studies teacher in Sheikh Sultan School based on accusations charging her with insulting Islam and proselytizing her Muslim students.

Monsef Ayad, a teacher, said, “Luxor’s Educational Directorate received a memorandum signed by a number of parents from the chairman of the board of trustees of the Sheikh Sultan School of Hagez el-Toud. In response, investigators traveled to the school to question the Egyptian teacher, accusing her of insulting Islam and urging her students to convert to Christianity.”

“While the teacher denied the accusations, investigators took statements from her colleagues and fourth and fifth grade students. The statements were contradicting in nature, with some supporting and others denying the accusations,” added Ayad.

Samaan Qaisar, a Coptic resident of the village, said, “the headmaster of the school denied that the teacher insulted Islam, but he did not defend her during the investigation. Instead, he said that he did not see anything with his own eyes.”


He added that “a number of meetings were conducted between the family of the Coptic teacher and the Muslims of the village to avoid involving the prosecutor's office. The charges associated with the Luxor Educational Directorate are still under investigation.”
