The meeting focused on integrating ElAraby’s industrial expertise into the national curriculum, providing students with hands-on training within the Group’s factories, and offering internationally recognized certifications.
In a significant shift toward digital literacy, Minister
Abdel Latif announced that the ministry is introducing Programming and
Artificial Intelligence courses for vocational students.
"Our goal is to provide high-quality technical
education that meets international standards," the Minister stated. He
emphasized that equipping students with digital skills and accredited
certifications would heighten their competitiveness in both local and
international markets.
The Minister praised ElAraby Group, one of Egypt's largest
industrial conglomerates, as a successful model for the integration of
education and industry. The partnership aims to develop practical curricula using
industrial insights to update classroom learning, lobal certification leveraging
ElAraby’s partnerships with nations like Japan, Italy, and Germany to grant students
international credentials, and on-the-job training ensuring students are
work-ready through direct exposure to modern manufacturing environments.
CEO Engineer Mohamed ElAraby expressed the group's full
readiness to support the state’s vision. He noted that the initiative is
designed to prepare a new generation of technicians capable of keeping pace
with global technological shifts, particularly given the group’s extensive
international trade and industrial networks.
The meeting was attended by senior officials, including
Deputy Minister Dr. Ayman Bahaa and Dr. Amr Bossela, head of the Applied
Technology Schools unit, alongside human resources and public relations
executives from ElAraby Group.
The move is part of a broader government push to rebrand technical education in Egypt, transforming it from a traditional track into a high-tech gateway for employment.
