The forward’s life has been added to the national curriculum in his home country to inspire students
The Times reported on Monday, that the achievements of Mo Salah, the Liverpool football superstar, story on the pitch, as well as his extensive charity efforts off it, are now included in both primary and secondary school books across the nation.
The 29-year-old’s story sporting successes, which have seen him rack up the highest total number of English Premier League goals of any African footballer and become a lynchpin for Liverpool, are covered at primary level, while secondary pupils will learn of how he’s given back to society.
Salah has given the impoverished Nagrig agricultural village in northern Egypt – where he is originally from – ambulances, a school for girls, and a water plant.
He also created a group to help the orphaned and impoverished in Gharbia Governorate, where Nagrig is located.
The text for secondary students reads: “Salah’s desire to help others is because he wants to give young people a chance to succeed.
“He is a role model to millions of Egyptians who give him the nickname ‘the happiness maker’.”
Despite being the captain of his national team, the Egyptian team has repeatedly struggled, having exited the 2018 World Cup in Russia without a victory.
