In 2023, Yahya applied to enter ZC, Egypt’s leading public institution for higher education, research and innovation. To become the school’s youngest student, he had to take exams in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and English equivalent to a high school diploma and pass an interview with the school board.

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

The ZC entrance exam is also very difficult for senior high school students, making them struggle to complete it. Yahya is truly a genius to be able to pass the ZC entrance exam at the age of 12."

During the meeting with Yahya - Minister of Education and Technical Training of Egypt, he congratulated him on his excellent achievements and at the same time praised his family, who are willing to provide everything they have to help Yahya develop in the best and most suitable environment.

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 to meet 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 that 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.
