On the professional development front, Dr. El-Garhy announced the approval of a package of training programs and student activities in cooperation with major banking institutions and companies, providing students with practical, real-world training opportunities. This comes alongside the launch of the Continuing Education Center, which will serve as the cornerstone for development programs and for building students’ competitive skills in the labor market.

Regarding facilities development, the faculty has witnessed a comprehensive upgrade to its infrastructure, including maintenance of lecture halls and laboratories, enhancement of internet networks, and modernization of the French Language Section classrooms. Special attention has also been given to students with disabilities through the preparation of accessible pathways and ramps, as well as the development of designated seating areas within lecture halls to ensure ease of movement and full integration into the educational process.

Concluding his remarks, the Dean affirmed the readiness of security and medical systems, noting that fire safety systems have been inspected, the medical center has been supplied with necessary medications, and public facilities, including sports fields, mosques, and walkways, have been maintained. Electrical connections and drainage systems have also been secured to address potential weather fluctuations, ensuring the faculty is fully prepared to receive its students in a safe, supportive, and motivating educational environment.
