Questions

How many French-speaking schools are there in Egypt?
We list 16, in 3 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Cairo, with 12 of the 16.
Is French unusual for schools in Egypt?
64% of the 25 schools we hold in Egypt are recorded as teaching in French. Each source records a language for its own reasons, so the figure reflects who publishes that information, not only who speaks what.
