He noted that the initiative reflects the Authority’s commitment to prepare national cadres equipped with the expertise and skills necessary to implement assessment processes efficiently and professionally, within the framework of its vision to consolidate and promote a culture of quality, enhance the efficiency of the accreditation system, and strengthen the readiness of educational institutions to obtain accreditation and achieve institutional excellence in accordance with the standards approved by ETQAAN Authority, in alignment with the objectives of Egypt Vision 2030.
