Al-Azhar University has announced the launch of an initiative called "Adopting Gifted and Innovative Students" to discover and support talented students. The initiative aims to translate the recommendations of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi into a tangible reality. The President had emphasized the importance of supporting gifted students during a meeting with the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
The initiative was announced by Al-Azhar University's President, Dr. Mahmoud Sadiq, who stated that the university is committed to implementing the President's recommendations. Dr. Sadiq added that the university has many talented students across various faculties, as evident in their academic and extracurricular achievements. He cited examples of innovative projects, such as an electric golf car and a robot for monitoring marine life.
The initiative's first step will be to conduct an electronic survey of Al-Azhar students to identify gifted and innovative students. The survey will help create a comprehensive database of talented students, which will enable the university to provide them with suitable programs and support. The database will be classified by field, including scientific, innovative, technological, cultural, literary, artistic, and sports.
Dr. Ahmed Kshak, Director of the Student Care Department at Al-Azhar University, stated that the initiative aims to provide a platform for gifted students to develop their skills. He added that the university will launch a "Gifted Al-Azhar Students Forum" during the 2026/2027 academic year to showcase and honor outstanding students.
The initiative is part of Al-Azhar University's efforts to support the state's goals, including the development of a sustainable system for gifted and innovative students. The university's President, Dr. Mahmoud Sadiq, emphasized the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to support talented students.
The "Adopting Gifted and Innovative Students" initiative is a significant step towards fostering a culture of innovation and excellence at Al-Azhar University. The initiative is expected to provide opportunities for talented students to develop their skills and contribute to the country's development.
