Kouchouk emphasized a deepening partnership with Harvard University, aimed at investing in young leaders and enhancing their global competitiveness. "We are focused on developing human capital to create highly efficient cadres who can impact the development path and ensure the competitiveness of the Egyptian economy," Kouchouk stated.
The Ministry’s future strategy includes:
Advanced Degrees: Expanding opportunities for Master’s and
higher research degrees to serve national development goals.
Cutting-Edge Research: Leveraging global initiatives in Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Climate Change, and Quantitative Sciences.
Public Sector Integration: Ensuring scholarship recipients
are integrated into public service to support state agencies with international
expertise.
The Minister highlighted the Fellowship Fund, established in
collaboration with Harvard, which finances approximately 10 scholarships
annually for high-achieving Egyptian students.
Since 2009, the Ministry of Finance has provided full
support to 59 students who successfully passed Harvard’s rigorous admission
process. These scholars have pursued Master’s degrees in critical fields,
including Public Administration and Government, Public Health, and Education
and Design.
Kouchouk also noted that Harvard now offers new digital
learning channels free of charge, providing advanced technological education
opportunities.
The Ministry’s International Financial and Economic Relations Department maintains regular follow-ups with students throughout their academic journey to resolve any obstacles. These specialized programs are meticulously selected to align with Egypt’s strategic development plans.
