Education
As a youth, Amin was enrolled in many of Egypt’s most privileged schools. He attended primary school in Alexandria, and then in 1875, attended Cairo’s Preparatory School. The curriculum at the school was said to be strict and heavily Europeanized. By 1881, at the age of 17, he received his law degree from the Khedival School and was one of thirty seven to receive a government scholarship to continue his education at Frances’ University de Montepellier. His mission in France lasted four years.
