Egypt’s Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said Wednesday that Egypt is acting to maximize investment returns from university education and scientific research in light of the global digital transformation.
Egypt has paid top priority to comprehensively reforming the different aspects of the higher education system in a way that would lead to further economic growth, as well as psychological and moral reconstruction, Abdel Ghaffar said in his speech during the Global Forum for Higher Education and Scientific Research (GFHS), which kicked off here today in the presence of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
He told the gathering that Egypt is working in coordination with all world countries to achieve integration, exchange expertise and benefit from all success stories.
This forum brings together ministers, ambassadors, scientists and researchers from many world countries with the aim to discuss a number of education and technology files, Abdel Ghaffar said, noting that it is a serious attempt to link the present with the future and overcome challenges toward joint action that would contribute to human progress.
He added that his Ministry is eyeing multilateral co-operation as a means to achieve goals outlined in national strategies and plans – to bring higher education and scientific research up to code.
Abdel Ghaffar thanked President Sisi for sponsoring higher education and scientific research in Egypt and for attending the second edition of the GFHS today.
