Imagine unlocking the future of higher education in Egypt—where digital transformation isn't just a trend but a game-changer. And this is the part most people miss: the conversation around expanding digital higher education goes far beyond just technology; it’s about reshaping access, quality, and international collaboration. If you're interested in how Egypt is pioneering this shift—and how the UK can be part of it—you'll want to stay tuned.
Recently, a significant report titled 'Scaling Digital Higher Education in Egypt' was released, shedding light on the strategies, challenges, and opportunities involved in bringing tech-driven learning to more students across the country. Building on that momentum, a follow-up webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, December 3rd, from 12:30 to 13:45 UK time. This event aims to deepen the dialogue initiated at Going Global 2025, where key stakeholders gathered for an exclusive session that included the report launch and high-level discussions with representatives from Egypt's Ministry of Higher Education, Jisc, the Egyptian Knowledge Bank, the University of London, and Coursera.
What can you expect from this upcoming webinar? First, a concise overview of the report’s most important insights, setting the stage for a lively discussion on best practices surrounding digital partnerships, quality assurance methods, and designing digital learning environments that truly put students at the center.
The lineup of speakers is impressive: Elizabeth Newall from Jisc, an expert in digital transformation; Dr. Hala Fares, an economics lecturer and director of University of London's EMFSS programs at the Arab Academy for Science and Technology; Mike Winter from the University of London, heading international affairs; and Shannon Stowers from the QAA, leading international policy and engagement.
Why should you consider joining? Because this session offers a unique chance to identify key areas where the UK and Egypt can collaborate effectively in digital education. You’ll gain valuable insights into maintaining quality, building robust digital infrastructure, and forming impactful partnerships. Plus, you'll get a front-row seat to the future of Egypt’s digital transformation and discover emerging opportunities for UK institutions eager to participate.
This isn’t just about talk; it’s about paving the way for tangible, sustainable collaborations that can truly reshape higher education in the region. So, are you ready to be part of this transformative journey? Join us, and let’s build pathways toward innovation and partnership—because the next chapter in digital higher education is unfolding now, and your voice could be a part of it.
