Following a registration process that saw heightened interest, the 2019 Fall Semester Program of the Turkish Language Courses took start in Yunus Emre Institute's Cairo Branch. Approximately 1,700 students applied for the Turkish language courses, scheduled for the period between September 22 and December 21, 2019. Looking for high-quality language instruction, the students formed a long queue to enroll in the course starting in early hours in the morning as was the case in previous years.

The Institute employs four Turkish and five Egyptian Turkish language teachers and is planning to admit 615 trainees for the new semester thanks to additional classrooms introduced. With the courses to be given by the Institute's instructors at Egyptian universities under the framework of the Turkology project, the services provided by the Institute are expected to reach some 1,000 students this semester.

Since its establishment in 2010, Yunus Emre Institute has given Turkish language training for 12,000 students across Egypt, and it has also been organizing cultural and artistic activities and providing speaking and reading clubs for learners of Turkish, film screenings, translation workshops and many other free activities.
