Arab Universities Unite
At the opening of UNESCO’s Fifth Conference on Higher Education in the Arab States in Doha, Minister of Education and Higher Education Lulwa Al-Khater called for stronger integration among Arab universities to address the challenges posed by conflict and artificial intelligence, broaden recognition of qualifications, and make it easier for students and researchers to move between countries. She noted that 95% of university campuses in Gaza had been destroyed or damaged, including 22 universities that were completely destroyed. In Sudan, 124 universities and technical institutions had been damaged or destroyed. She stressed the need to support students and researchers and ensure that education continues. Al-Khater also pointed out that only 19% of the higher education institutions covered by a UNESCO survey had official policies on artificial intelligence. She called for these technologies to be governed and for Arabic-language content to be strengthened. The number of higher education students in the region reached around 15 million in 2024.
