The Times Higher Education website officially announced the top ranking universities in countries with emerging economies, which showed remarkable progress for Egyptian universities. In its report released Thursday, the website referred to the remarkable progress in Egyptian university education at the governorate level. The report praised the performance of Egypt, as it quickly rose in the rankings this year as a result of the improvement of Egyptian university performance. The article, written by Ellie Bothwell, said Egypt has 19 universities ranked in the classification of 2019, compared with only nine universities that made it on the list in 2018. The report added that what distinguishes the system of higher education in Egypt is the high number of university students, as well as the Egyptian government’s willingness to establish branches of foreign universities in Egypt.
