Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris has offered to fully fund private studies at any university for student Habiba Tarek, who made news over reporting harassment for wearing a dress during final exams. During a telephone interview on Al-Hadath Al-Youm channel on Monday evening, Sawiris said: “We have reached an unbearable level of bullying. Tariq, a student in the second year at the Faculty of Arts, Tanta University, was mocked by exam observers during the end of the year exams because she was wearing a dress. According to Tariq, the observers kept insulting her because of the dress she was wearing at the examination committee, as well as for not wearing a hijab. Two female observers then kept insulting her dress.
