Engineers Syndicate Rejects 67 Percent Score
The Head of Engineers Syndicate, Dr. Mohamed Abdelghani, confirmed that setting the minimum admission score for engineering colleges at 67% constitutes an unacceptable decline in the standards required for entry into engineering education. This reduction harms the quality of graduates and threatens the profession's prestige. He explained that the engineering profession demands a high level of scientific qualification due to its significant responsibility in designing and implementing vital projects that impact citizens' lives and the country's future, such as infrastructure and major projects. He called for a review of admission policies and for reducing the number of admitted students so that the difference in acceptance rates between public and private colleges does not exceed 5%, ensuring that the level of competence aligns with the needs of the labor market. He pointed out that increasing the number of engineering graduates without a genuine need leads to heightened competition, reduced job opportunities, and lower wages, adversely affecting the quality of engineering practice and the profession's future. He concluded by saying that the syndicate will continue to pursue adjustments in admission policies, monitor the quality of education, and develop engineers' skills to ensure a responsible engineering profession that meets market demands and job security.
