In 2023, Yahya applied to enter ZC – Egypt’s leading public higher education , research and innovation institution. To become the youngest student at the school, he had to take math, physics, chemistry, biology, and English tests equivalent to the final level of high school and pass an interview with the school board.

Professor Salah Obayya, general manager of ZC, said: "Despite his age and educational background, Yahya met the exam criteria, becoming the youngest student to pass the exam.

The ZC entrance exam is so difficult for senior high school students that they struggle to pass. Yahya is a genius for passing the ZC entrance exam at the age of 12."

Besides, he also emphasized the need to nurture talented people, support excellent students in their studies in different fields and encourage people with special skills and abilities like Yahya.

Accordingly, the Egyptian government will fund Yahya's studies at ZC through the Ministry of Education's Innovation Scholarship Fund (ISF) for outstanding students, postgraduates and researchers.

In response to many questions about concerns that Yahya had difficulty communicating, the boy's father shared: "In terms of academics, I have tried my best to help my child develop intellectually and enter a suitable educational environment that meets his learning needs.

In terms of communication and behavior in life, Yahya develops completely normally and has no problems interacting with people around him. When studying and interacting with students older than him, Yahya is not shy but very sociable.

Professor Mahmoud Abdrabou - acting President of ZC - said the school will help Yayha adapt to his new life, overcome difficulties when skipping grades and encourage the male student to participate in clubs and student union activities.
