The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Abdel Azizi Ghonso, confirmed that the university education system in Egypt currently includes about 138,000 international students from 119 countries, aiming to establish Egypt as a global education hub that attracts students from around the world. He also pointed out that the number of internationally published research papers has increased from around 16,000 in 2014 to 45,000 today, with challenges in providing student places having decreased, as approximately 1.7 million university seats have been added since 2014, and a further 1.5 million are expected to be added over the next three years. Additionally, he launched initiatives to enhance scientific research and foster cooperation between universities and industry. He also announced a new pathway for faculty development starting in November, which will involve upgrading more than 9,000 university programs to meet the needs of the labor market, linking students' specializations with future economic growth and development expectations.
