The establishment of the university aims to raise standards of education and scientific research in Egypt. The university will provide the latest technology and work to strengthen ties with cultural and scientific institutions alongside other universities. The university may also establish colleges and specialized higher institutes and other research units after taking the necessary legal measures. Earlier this May, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Khaled Abdel Ghaffar announced that Egypt will establish six new technological universities across the country. While inspecting the Technological University in Alexandria, Abdel Ghaffar explained that these technological universities will contribute greatly to supplying the internal and external labor market with well-trained qualified graduates.
