Dr. Mona Hagrass, Assistant Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Universities, also highlighted the significant role played by the Egypt Government Excellence Award in fostering a culture of excellence within Egyptian universities and encouraging positive competition among faculties. She noted that universities have become key partners in implementing the state's institutional development plans. Ms. Soha Saeed, Executive Director of the Award, stressed the importance of involving specialized teams from each university to ensure effective and sustainable application of excellence standards.
