Egyptian army university approved amid quality concerns
The Egyptian House of Representatives has given its final approval to a bill establishing the "Kayan" University for the Armed Forces of Applied Sciences, aiming to enhance higher education and scientific research and to offer programs aligned with labor market needs and sustainable development. The law includes transferring the assets of the Armed Forces Medical College to the new university and grants it the authority to establish new colleges and institutes. The university is set to commence operations in the 2026-2027 academic year. Despite parliamentary support, the Justice Party expressed its opposition, emphasizing the need to adhere to clear standards to ensure education quality and equal opportunities, while warning that multiple models could complicate the educational system.
