Prof. Rami Maher Ghali stressed to the deans of the faculties the importance of enhancing direct communication with students, stressing the need to open their offices to receive students, listen to their problems and work to solve them within the faculty, considering this an integral part of their responsibilities and their administrative and educational role, while emphasizing that problems should not be raised to the university administration except in cases of extreme necessity, which contributes to the speed of dealing with student issues and achieving stability within the educational process.

During the session, Prof. Rami Maher Ghali praised the entertainment festival organized by the sector in Ismailia, which included students with disabilities who were sports champions, Egyptian and international students, and students from university dormitories. He appreciated the good organization and the efforts made by those in charge of it, and stressed that the festival clearly contributed to raising the morale of the champions with disabilities, and achieved a distinctive state of integration and interaction between them and the students. He pointed out that this trip represented a real opportunity for acquaintance and harmony between the various groups of university students, within a framework that enhances the values of inclusion and positive participation within the university community.

He also praised the university’s participation in the EDUGATE exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, considering it a gateway to international relations.
