The Board of Directors of the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education, affiliated with the Prime Minister, headed by Dr. Johansen Eid, Chairman of the Authority, in its session No. 215 held on March 31, 2022, issued new accreditation decisions for a number of educational institutions, especially the Faculty of Engineering at Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development.

The Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education and Accreditation of the Prime Minister aims to pay attention to the outputs of education, which is the main pillar for increasing the productivity of human capital and promoting entrepreneurship and technological progress.

According to Dr. Johansen Eid, the President of the Republic’s initiatives in various fields of economic, health, social, educational, environmental, and other life all aim at achieving a “dignified life” for citizens, and that the quality of education and access to its outputs to the highest level is one of the strong and sustainable weapons that have an impact on eliminating poverty, achieving sustainable development and bridging the gap. Between education outputs and the labor market by enabling graduates to obtain job opportunities that require their specializations and knowledge.

She added that one of the most important pillars of reaching a qualitative level of education in Egypt, and that the authority is working seriously in accordance with Egypt’s 2030 vision, in which the quality of education had a large share of its goals, especially with regard to the need to achieve justice in providing quality education opportunities without discrimination for all Egyptians, and permanent work to improve Infrastructure of education in order to ensure the continuous development of education indicators, development of educational curricula and support of lifelong education programs – as well as empowering teachers by developing teachers’ skills and improving their working and life conditions, and continuous work to link the outputs of the education sector with the labor market, especially with regard to the development of technical education and technological education.[:ar]

ضمان الجودة تعتمد كلية هندسة هليوبوليس للتنمية المستدامة

أصدر مجلس إدارة الهيئة القومية لضمان جودة التعليم والاعتماد التابعة لرئيس مجلس الوزراء برئاسة الدكتورة يوهانسن عيد رئيس الهيئة في جلسته رقم 215 المنعقدة في 31 من مارس عام 2022  قرارات باعتماد جديدة لعدد من المؤسسات التعليمية، وعلى رأسها كلية الهندسة بجامعة هليوبوليس للتنمية المستدامة.

 وتهدف هيئة ضمان جودة التعليم والاعتماد التابعة لرئيس مجلس الوزراء، إلى الاهتمام بمخرجات التعليم يمثل الركيزة الأساسية لزيادة إنتاجية رأس المال البشري وتعزيز ريادة الأعمال والتقدم التكنولوجي

وبحسب الدكتورة يوهانسن عيد أن مبادرات رئيس الجمهورية في مختلف مجالات الحياة الاقتصادية والصحية والاجتماعية والتعليمية والبيئية وغيرها تستهدف كلها في الأخير تحقيق “حياة كريمة” للمواطنين، وأن جودة التعليم والوصول بمخرجاته لأعلى مستوى هو أحد الأسلحة القوية والمستدامة الأثر للقضاء على الفقر وتحقيق التنمية المستدامة وسد الفجوة بين مخرجات التعليم وسوق العمل وذلك بتمكين الخريجين من الحصول على فرص للعمل تحتاج تخصصاتهم ومعارفهم.

وأضافت، أن أحد أهم ركائز الوصول الى مستوى نوعى للتعليم في مصر، وأن الهيئة تعمل بجدية وفق رؤية مصر 2030 والتي كان لجودة التعليم نصيب كبير من أهدافها خاصة ما يتعلق بضرورة تحقيق العدالة في توفير فرص التعليم الجيد وبدون تمييز لكل المصريين، والعمل الدائم على تحسين البنية الأساسية للتعليم بهدف ضمان التطوير المستمر لمؤشرات التعليم وتطوير المناهج التعليمية ودعم برامج التعليم مدى الحياة – كذلك تمكين المعلمين من خلال تطوير مهارات المعلم وتحسين ظروف عمله وحياته، والعمل المستمر على ربط مخرجات قطاع التعليم بسوق العمل، وخاصة فيما يتعلق بتطوير التعليم الفني والتعليم التكنولوجي.

MED-WET Partners Participate in Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair, October 2024, Portugal

[:en] The MED-WET partners, including the team from Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development, had the opportunity to showcase their excellent results at the Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair, held during (9-13) October 2024 in Portugal. This event provided a wonderful platform to widely share the project’s advancements, exchange insights, and engage with various international stakeholders in the water, energy and agricultural sectors. During the fair, the HUSD team actively participated in a parallel conference, where they delivered in-depth presentations and speech covering the MED-WET’s goals, achievements, and importance in advancing sustainable water management for climate-resilient agriculture among the rural and desert communities. At the heart of their presence was the MED-WET stand, which attracted significant attention of the majority of participants. It served as a focal point for information dissemination, providing an interactive space where farmers, agricultural experts, policymakers, and researchers could learn more about the project’s innovative approaches to water conservation and irrigation technology in arid regions. The stand featured detailed explanations of the project’s outcomes, including key findings and 3-D prototypes of the three technologies “Constructed Wetlands in Sekem El-Wahat, Solar energy-driven desalination for greenhouse agriculture in Malta and the SLECI Irrigation technology in Portugal and Morocco”. This obviously proven the MED-WET’s success in realizing efficient water management practices that contributed to sustainable farming and addressed water scarcity challenges in the Mediterranean region. Overall, the Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair was a highly productive experience for all participants. It allowed the MED-WET team to expand their network, raise awareness about the critical issue of water scarcity, and underscore the project’s role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices across the Mediterranean region. The fair highlighted the increasing importance of collaborative efforts in addressing water conservation and irrigation challenges in agriculture, reinforcing the relevance of the MED-WET initiative.

Showcasing the Med-Wet Project: Partners Participated in the Euro-Mediterranean Innovation Marketplace in Cairo

[:en] One of the Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development’s successful research projects called “MED-WET” is selected among the top successful and highest performing 20 EU–Prima projects worldwide this year 2024. An international conference and fair was conducted on 3 Oct., 2024 in Cairo organized by Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in association with the European Commission (EC) office in Cairo. In which, a team from HUSD and MED-WET’s partner countries from Malta and Germany presented the key results of the MED-WET project, including the successfully developed three technologies (Constructed Wetlands in Sekem El-Wahat, Solar energy-driven desalination for greenhouse agriculture in Malta and the SLECI Irrigation technology in Portugal and Morocco). That mega event allowed HUSD to showcase the innovative solution of the low-cost, low-energy and nature-based “Instream Constructed Wetland” model addressing water challenges and climate change in the Mediterranean. Such innovations aim to conserve water, improve irrigation efficiency and tackle water scarcity (climate-resilient agriculture). The marketplace offered meaningful exchanges with international partners. HUSD’s team discussed potential collaborations with stakeholders who are interested in new research projects, which will help further amplify the impact of the Med-Wet project. The conversations done with promising future partners underscored the importance of cross-border cooperation and innovation in addressing complex environmental challenges, on the top of them “water scarcity and climate change”.
