Egypt Forum 2026: Higher Education Plan
The Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education's plan focused on developing the university education system between 2014 and 2026, with the aim of improving the quality of academic programs, enhancing internationalization, and supporting scientific research and innovation. During this period, there was a significant increase in the number of universities from 55 to 131, and student enrollment rose from 2.3 million to 4 million. The rankings of Egyptian universities both locally and internationally improved substantially, with a notable rise in the number of universities listed in the Times and QS rankings. The plan also included the development of over 9,000 academic and joint programs, expansion into modern disciplines such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, and the advancement of research capabilities through funding for innovation and technology projects. Additionally, the framework for professional qualification was strengthened through the establishment of development centers, the coordination of partnerships with more than 2,000 companies, and the launch of the Future Skills Academy to prepare young people. This development aims to position Egypt as a regional hub for higher education, increase the proportion of students in applied colleges to 60%, and elevate the international ranking of its universities.
