Cairo University, under the leadership of Dr. Mohamed Sami Abdel Sadek, continues to expand its accreditation map, focusing on establishing quality assurance systems and continuous development of academic programs. The university has recently obtained institutional accreditation for the Faculty of Engineering, along with conditional accreditation for the Mechatronics program. This development reflects the ongoing efforts to enhance the faculty's institutional and academic programs.
The Faculty of Physical Therapy has achieved full accreditation for its Physical Therapy program, having previously held conditional accreditation. This accomplishment demonstrates the faculty's success in meeting accreditation requirements and implementing necessary development and improvement procedures. Similarly, the Faculty of Dentistry has obtained full accreditation for its Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program, also upgraded from conditional accreditation.
The Faculty of Archaeology has been granted conditional institutional accreditation, while the Architectural Restoration program has received conditional accreditation. This progress represents a significant step in the faculty's journey to complete accreditation requirements and achieve further institutional and programmatic development. The National Institute of Laser Sciences has also obtained accreditation for three academic programs in laser applications in oral and dental medicine.
Dr. Mohamed Sami Abdel Sadek emphasized that these accreditations mark a new milestone in the university's pursuit of quality and accreditation. He highlighted the efforts made by faculties and institutes to develop their programs and systems according to clear and measurable standards. The university views accreditation as a continuous process of development and improvement, rather than a one-time goal.
The conversion of conditional accreditation to full accreditation in the Physical Therapy and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery programs serves as a practical model for the effectiveness of continuous improvement plans within the university. This achievement demonstrates the faculties' ability to address quality requirements and translate evaluation results into tangible development initiatives.
Dr. Khaled Suleiman, Director of Cairo University's Quality Assurance Center, stated that the new accreditations resulted from continuous work within faculties and institutes to develop academic and administrative performance systems. The center provides ongoing support and consultations to quality assurance units, reviewing accreditation files and monitoring improvement plans.
The university plans to continue expanding its accreditation map, with a focus on sustaining quality performance and enhancing the competitiveness of its graduates in the local, regional, and international job markets. The recent accreditations reflect the university's commitment to quality education and its pursuit of excellence in academic programs and research.
