[00:00:46] his home and the children in male and female, distributed across
[00:00:57] degree from
[00:01:01] institutions have affected
[00:01:12] challenge this
[00:01:26] process in general at the Assurance of Education at
[00:01:53] to the public, but in
[00:01:54] 33 specializations in
[00:02:15] Its headquarters are in the capital,
[00:02:20] more than one axis, on
[00:02:22] the ground axis, started in the college,
[00:02:35] so that this
[00:02:38] male and female students, and I still remember
[00:02:57] that were in of the university,
[00:03:01] on all fronts. In Marib, in many girls who have dropped out of
[00:03:18] in this that was never
[00:03:31] included a number of
[00:03:49] This is the first time I deal with this
[00:04:09] movement in
[00:04:25] initially had
[00:04:27] we are receiving
[00:04:36] labs and a college specialized in specialized computer
[00:04:43] the building, in the new area, in provide services for the computer college in
[00:04:54] programs in the
[00:04:55] the new, especially in
[00:05:02] doctoral students and 504 master's
[00:05:11] Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu
[00:05:15] Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. May Allah
[00:05:18] strengthen you. May Allah make you steadfast. May Allah grant you victory. In the name of Allah, in the name of Allah,
[00:05:22] in the name of Allah.
[00:06:08] The declaration of His Excellency the President of the Presidential Leadership Council for the battle of Yemen's dawn. There is a great
[00:06:11] attrition of the Houthi militias and of the military capabilities of the Houthi militias. This comes from
[00:06:15] several axes. Firstly, the aerial targeting of missile capabilities
[00:06:18] and also of the sites from which missiles are launched. There are
[00:06:21] new updates. For example, the platforms that launch missiles from
[00:06:24] are suddenly surprised by aerial bombardment.
[00:06:28] Also, the military convoys that the Houthi militia advances with
[00:06:31] and the attrition on several fronts. But
[00:06:34] Taiz comes first. It has greatly depleted
[00:06:37] the Houthis, and from it will be the desired dawn and salvation, God willing.
[00:06:41] Operation Dawn was
[00:06:44] the hope. It was the hope of the dawn that
[00:06:47] will break and dispel the darkness.
[00:06:50] The decisions came, and the announcement of the operation came at the time
[00:06:53] the citizen needed it and what he needed to hear at that specific
[00:06:57] moment. And work began
[00:07:00] that may not be clearly visible
[00:07:05] reality, it has its effect, which is the complete attrition of the Houthis,
[00:07:09] also consists of
[00:07:13] the terrorist militias
[00:07:15] losing their
[00:07:18] reflected in their morale, and what
[00:07:22] indicates that is their publications that clearly
[00:07:25] show the extent to which their
[00:07:28] morale has reached. So, Operation Dawn of Yemen affected
[00:07:35] and even if it seems to the observer
[00:07:38] that they are making progress, the situation is not as it appears
[00:07:41] to be.
[00:07:43] The lesson is in the results, and the second axis is the axis
[00:07:46] of morale, and this we see clearly
[00:07:50] and when you see the hysteria that has reached
[00:07:53] those responsible for
[00:07:57] the destructive and unjust war on Taiz, that
[00:08:00] they are carrying out a hysterical bombardment of civilians, this means that
[00:08:04] the pain has reached its peak for them.
[00:08:07] Of course, just the announcement led to a lot of attrition
[00:08:13] Al-Jawf, in Taiz, on the coast,
[00:08:16] in different areas of the coast, at the level of the fronts
[00:08:19] that face these militias, we said
[00:08:23] that they were depleted in a way
[00:08:27] seen before. We learned from many
[00:08:31] and multiple sources from those areas that the Houthis, that
[00:08:34] the Houthi gang mobilized, as we said,
[00:08:38] even the guards of facilities, the guards of banks,
[00:08:41] the guards of private and public institutions,
[00:08:44] people were mobilized to their battles
[00:08:48] and to the siege of Taiz, especially. They mobilized people
[00:08:52] who had some prisoners who
[00:08:55] spoke and said, "This is the first time
[00:08:58] I use a weapon.
[00:09:02] weapon. They forcibly mobilized me, and like me, hundreds,
[00:09:05] even thousands, were mobilized to the inferno
[00:09:09] of death." This indicates that the Houthi movement,
[00:09:13] that the announcement of the Battle of Dawn of Yemen
[00:09:16] disrupted all calculations and unsettled
[00:09:20] the Houthi Yemen.
[00:09:23] It depleted its members. It depleted, it messed up
[00:09:27] its plans and exhausted and depleted
[00:09:29] its members. It worked to disrupt it in all
[00:09:33] areas and on all fronts and in all estimates that
[00:09:37] it was making regarding
[00:09:39] Operation Dawn of Yemen that took place recently, the Houthi
[00:09:43] aggression that happened in Taiz.
[00:09:47] And this aggression is considered one of the fiercest
[00:09:50] and most brutal aggressions that happened in Taiz
[00:09:54] since 2015 until this moment. A fierce and ugly
[00:09:57] and brazen aggression whose first and main goal is
[00:10:01] to enslave Taiz and also to subjugate it to the Houthi
[00:10:04] Iranian project, and this is what Taiz rejects completely
[00:10:07] and utterly. And the Dawn operation came.
[00:10:10] at this precise time to work on
[00:10:16] depleting the Houthi militias. And the Houthi militia has
[00:10:20] lost. And the Houthis have lost in this operation
[00:10:24] many of their fighters and many
[00:10:27] of their leaders on all fronts in
[00:10:31] Taiz. And this is what we hoped for from the Dawn of Yemen project, which is to deplete the Houthis
[00:10:35] very, very greatly and for them to lose their leaders and fighters.
[00:10:38] And this is what happened. I almost read in the last, in
[00:10:42] a news report, that they have almost lost more than 5,000 fighters
[00:10:45] or more than that number. And this is, of course, considered a great success for the
[00:10:49] Dawn of Yemen operation. Of course, the Dawn of Yemen step was a necessary
[00:10:52] and effective step in the current phase, especially.
[00:10:56] that the battles became almost dead on all
[00:10:59] fronts, and Taiz has been besieged since 2015 until
[00:11:03] now. But the Dawn of Yemen opened
[00:11:07] the light to Yemen in general and to the people of Taiz in
[00:11:10] particular, of course, in terms of depleting the Houthi aggression.
[00:11:14] It depleted many fighters
[00:11:18] and leaders, and the proof is that he is still
[00:11:21] mobilizing into Taiz. And unfortunately, there
[00:11:25] are
[00:11:27] shells that entered Taiz
[00:11:31] and entered homes, causing casualties. This is evidence of
[00:11:34] the depletion of energy, evidence that the Dawn
[00:11:38] of Hope has achieved a qualitative leap. It entered Taiz
[00:11:41] and entered. The moral guidance team in the moral guidance department in Taiz axis
[00:11:45] visited the fronts
[00:11:48] and we found high spirits, high morale,
[00:11:50] and steadfastness.
[00:11:52] In fact, these
[00:11:55] individuals today
[00:11:58] offer the noblest of what they have in terms of will
[00:12:01] and determination as they fight
[00:12:05] this terrorist militia group,
[00:12:08] the Iranian
[00:12:10] one. The city of Taiz is
[00:12:14] greater than this group, than these militias.
[00:12:18] It is steadfast like Mount Sabr. On this
[00:12:21] city, they are great in the time
[00:12:24] of the small and in the time of these militias. Therefore, thanks
[00:12:28] to this incubator, and thanks
[00:12:30] to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership and people. Thanks
[00:12:34] to everyone for what they have offered to this nation
[00:12:37] and their love for this nation. They sacrificed for this nation
[00:12:40] with their blood and the fruits of their hearts,
[00:12:43] with their bodies and also
[00:12:45] their remains. So thanks to everyone for the glory of this nation
[00:12:49] to a great extent. But today
[00:12:53] we want to activate this council to serve the education sector or to serve
[00:12:56] the girl's education sector,
[00:13:00] council can play its important role and its
[00:13:03] prominent role in serving girl's education. Also, today
[00:13:06] we focus or give great importance and priority
[00:13:10] to education and the education of out-of-school girls due
[00:13:14] to the waves of displacement that families
[00:13:16] are exposed to.
[00:13:19] The families present today inside the camps, there are
[00:13:23] education. Girls who have dropped out of education. We want effective
[00:13:27] and sustainable solutions for these
[00:13:30] dropouts and for these problems facing girl's education.
[00:13:33] The meeting was attended by the Deputy Governor,
[00:13:36] Sheikh Judge Abdullah
[00:13:39] Al-Bakri, and the Deputy Director of Education, Professor Abdulaziz
[00:13:43] Al-Bakri, and also the head of the National Committee for Women,
[00:13:45] Professor Saada Akkar,
[00:13:49] who supported the meeting.
[00:13:53] The meeting
[00:13:56] personalities, including government
[00:13:59] offices.
[00:15:42] Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Welcome, dear viewers,
[00:15:46] to a new episode of Saba. Universities have
[00:15:50] today become a fundamental pillar in building societies,
[00:15:53] producing competencies, and keeping pace with
[00:15:56] scientific and technological transformations. In
[00:15:59] Marib Governorate, Saba Region University
[00:16:02] represents one of the academic institutions on which
[00:16:05] great hopes are placed for qualifying youth,
[00:16:09] expanding higher education opportunities, and contributing to
[00:16:13] the development process, despite the challenges imposed by
[00:16:16] war conditions and limited capabilities. But
[00:16:19] to what extent has the university been able to achieve its goals?
[00:16:23] What is the reality of the quality of education and specializations?
[00:16:27] And have its outputs kept pace with the needs of the labor
[00:16:30] market? And what are its plans for a more developed
[00:16:34] academic future? These questions and others
[00:16:37] we discuss in our episode with our guest, Dr.
[00:16:41] Mohammed Hammoud Al-Qudsi, President of Saba
[00:16:44] Region University. Welcome, Doctor. Welcome,
[00:16:47] Professor. Welcome, Dr. Mohammed. Let's start
[00:16:51] with the university's journey and what it has reached today. How
[00:16:55] do you evaluate the journey of Saba Region University since its establishment, and what
[00:16:58] are the most prominent achievements during these years?
[00:17:02] First, thank you very much to Yemen Channel for this hosting,
[00:17:06] and God willing, there
[00:17:10] will be other hostings at different levels.
[00:17:13] The university, God willing, on our channel, Yemen Channel, is considered the channel
[00:17:17] of all Yemenis. And thank you very much to Professor
[00:17:21] Amira. Saba Region University
[00:17:24] is known to have started with a college. This college started in
[00:17:28] 2006. It was established due to political circumstances at that time, unfortunately,
[00:17:32] and not due to scientific circumstances
[00:17:35] or scientific needs or achieving scientific goals,
[00:17:39] but rather it was established to achieve political goals in
[00:17:42] 2006 and did not receive
[00:17:46] the necessary attention and care that should be given
[00:17:48] to any college opened in any governorate.
[00:17:52] It was, of course, a college affiliated with Sana'a University,
[00:17:56] and it continued to provide its services
[00:17:59] with great difficulty until
[00:18:02] 2013. In 2013, education there stopped,
[00:18:05] and then we resumed work
[00:18:08] there specifically on August 11,
[00:18:12] 2016, and we started with the Faculty
[00:18:15] of Education, Arts, and Sciences at that time. That was its name.
[00:18:17] And on November
[00:18:19] 16, 2016,
[00:18:22] يعني after about three months of opening the college or
[00:18:26] resuming work in the college, to be precise,
[00:18:29] a presidential decree was issued to establish Saba Region University,
[00:18:32] and we started with the specializations
[00:18:34] the college. But at the same time,
[00:18:40] we opened two colleges: the College of Sharia and Law, and the College of Administrative
[00:18:43] and Financial Sciences. Initially, its name was the College of Administrative Sciences,
[00:18:46] then after about two years, we changed its name to
[00:18:50] the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences, and we started with two departments. But
[00:18:54] if we move to today, today, Saba Region University has
[00:18:58] seven colleges,
[00:19:01] and among these colleges is the College of Medicine, which, God willing,
[00:19:05] in two months from this interview or three
[00:19:09] months, we will all celebrate, God willing, the graduation
[00:19:12] of the first batch from the College of Medicine, Human Medicine,
[00:19:15] General Surgery, God willing,
[00:19:19] and we will have about 47 students
[00:19:22] graduating as the first batch
[00:19:26] to graduate from the College of Medicine, Saba Region University.
[00:19:29] The name of our college is the College of Medicine, and it is not the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, but rather
[00:19:33] its name is the College of Medicine,
[00:19:36] and the College of Information Technology and Computer
[00:19:39] Science. Of course, the College of Medicine has one department so far, one
[00:19:43] department, and the College of Information
[00:19:46] Technology and Computer Science has five
[00:19:48] specializations, among them
[00:19:52] cyber security.
[00:19:54] Our students in cyber security are currently at the third level, and we also
[00:19:58] have a new specialization this year, artificial
[00:20:01] intelligence. This is the first batch
[00:20:04] this year, in addition to specializations
[00:20:07] in education, specializations in arts, specializations in sciences, specializations in administrative
[00:20:11] and financial sciences,
[00:20:14] and Sharia and Law, as I mentioned. Approximately,
[00:20:18] the programs we offer now at the university for the bachelor's
[00:20:21] degree are 33 scientific programs, so we have
[00:20:25] today 17, seven colleges,
[00:20:28] 33
[00:20:31] bachelor's degree, applied programs, and humanities
[00:20:35] and administrative programs. We also opened in
[00:20:39] 2018, we started master's programs,
[00:20:42] and we started with three programs. Today we have master's
[00:20:45] and doctoral programs open at the university, almost 30
[00:20:48] programs. 25 programs in master's,
[00:20:52] distributed among the Faculties of Arts, Education,
[00:20:55] Sciences, Computer Science,
[00:20:58] and Administration. We
[00:21:02] this week and last week, we are receiving
[00:21:06] students in the Business Administration Department for the
[00:21:10] Master's program. And we will soon open, God willing,
[00:21:13] an executive business administration program soon, God
[00:21:16] willing. The important thing is that we now have
[00:21:20] approximately 25 programs
[00:21:23] Master's
[00:21:26] Doctorate. We have approximately
[00:21:29] 44 doctoral students,
[00:21:33] the five programs. We have 504 students distributed
[00:21:36] across specializations, Master's
[00:21:40] specializations. The number of those who have
[00:21:43] actually been awarded a Master's
[00:21:47] the university exceeds 120 students, male and female,
[00:21:51] in various specializations.
[00:21:53] We also have three centers at the university, which are important centers:
[00:21:57] the Center for Academic Development and Quality Assurance, and this
[00:22:01] deals with the quality of the educational process at the university and observing or
[00:22:04] monitoring accreditation
[00:22:07] indicators
[00:22:09] or academic accreditation standards and the extent
[00:22:13] of their application in the educational
[00:22:16] university. And we have two centers that we consider
[00:22:20] the other two centers to be
[00:22:23] a service to the community, which is the program or
[00:22:26] center for Languages and Translation,
[00:22:29] and the Center for Research and Community Service.
[00:22:33] This is roughly a brief overview of what
[00:22:37] the university has become after ten years: seven colleges, three
[00:22:40] centers, three scientific centers,
[00:22:44] Bachelor's, 30 specializations in
[00:22:48] Master's studies and doctoral
[00:22:52] studies. Excellent, Dr. Mohammed. So, with the expansion of the
[00:22:55] university's role, the extent of student enrollment becomes clear.
[00:22:58] How many students, male and female, are currently enrolled,
[00:23:02] and how is it
[00:23:04] handled in case the number
[00:23:07] increases? Of course, we
[00:23:12] and we had 17 classrooms
[00:23:15] and labs. And the first year of
[00:23:18] the university's opening in
[00:23:20] 2016-17, we received
[00:23:24] 1659
[00:23:28] this number because for us at the university, it's a significant number and year, meaning the
[00:23:31] foundational year, as they say, and an important
[00:23:35] number to remember because it's the
[00:23:38] beginning of the university. Today, after ten
[00:23:40] years and the graduation of five batches in the name
[00:23:46] the last of these batches that we all celebrated
[00:23:49] last year, and with the presence of the Deputy
[00:23:52] Team Sultan
[00:23:56] honored us at that ceremony, and almost everyone
[00:24:00] attended the ceremony, and 112 graduated
[00:24:02] last year,
[00:24:05] 1142 male and female
[00:24:07] students. In any case, we started with this number.
[00:24:11] We came to the college, and it had 235 students. The first year, we accepted
[00:24:15] 1659
[00:24:18] male and female students. Today, we are at Saba Region University. As for
[00:24:22] bachelor's degrees only,
[00:24:24] those who are currently studying
[00:24:26] are 19,362
[00:24:30] male and female students, distributed across bachelor's specializations,
[00:24:33] 33 specializations. I said we had
[00:24:36] 17 classrooms and labs. Today, thank God,
[00:24:39] we started focusing on the infrastructure, the classrooms
[00:24:43] and labs that can accommodate this number, because the situation is a war
[00:24:47] situation, and the country's situation also does not allow for construction. In Yemeni
[00:24:50] law, every college is considered infrastructure and must have its complete
[00:24:54] and independent infrastructure. We focused on classrooms
[00:24:57] and labs. Today, at the university, there are, besides the new college that
[00:25:01] we opened two months ago,
[00:25:04] we have 64 classrooms, we have 13
[00:25:07] labs. These 64 classrooms and 13 or 14
[00:25:11] labs accommodate the students currently present
[00:25:14] at the university. In six colleges, two
[00:25:17] months ago, we moved to the new college, which is
[00:25:20] the College of Information Technology and Computer Science. It has approximately seven
[00:25:26] computer science and 14 classrooms that approximately
[00:25:33] the new university campus. 1600 students. The
[00:25:37] 1600 are, of course, part of the
[00:25:39] 19,362
[00:25:42] students. This is approximately the number of students present, distributed
[00:25:45] across different fields,
[00:25:48] excluding postgraduate students. 44
[00:25:52] students, excluding
[00:25:54] the courses and programs offered
[00:25:57] by the Language Center and the Language Center.
[00:26:01] And the Research and Community Service Center. Approximately last year,
[00:26:05] 25 people benefited from the Language Center, approximately 1800
[00:26:07] students in various courses, and the number of hours we
[00:26:11] provided at the Research and Community Service Center last
[00:26:15] year was approximately 11,000 hours that we provided
[00:26:19] in general programs
[00:26:22] and courses as a service to the community. Yes, Dr.
[00:26:26] Mohammed, the success of a university is not measured by the number of its students
[00:26:29] and colleges alone, but
[00:26:32] by the quality of education it provides. How do you ensure the quality
[00:26:36] of the educational process in light of the circumstances the country is going through? In fact,
[00:26:40] the circumstances are affecting
[00:26:43] everyone, even the man in
[00:26:48] school, at all levels of people. The general
[00:26:52] circumstances and the war that the Houthi militias
[00:26:56] have waged and are still waging against the country and its resources
[00:27:00] and against the Yemeni people and its
[00:27:03] everyone. But we say at the university,
[00:27:07] we
[00:27:09] try as much as possible, and with the available capabilities, to
[00:27:14] situation. And from the early
[00:27:18] days of the university,
[00:27:21] we were keen to establish the Center for Academic Development and Quality
[00:27:26] the university in 2018, meaning approximately
[00:27:30] a year and a half after the university's establishment. This center is responsible
[00:27:34] for the quality of the entire educational
[00:27:37] process, starting from
[00:27:40] the training aspects, passing
[00:27:44] through the description of academic programs
[00:27:48] and the description of study courses
[00:27:50] and following up on them,
[00:27:52] measuring performance, measuring
[00:27:56] student performance, classroom quality, lab
[00:28:00] quality, environment, or the educational
[00:28:03] environment in general at the university, within national
[00:28:07] standards
[00:28:09] led
[00:28:11] by the Council for Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance
[00:28:15] of Higher Education in the Republic of Yemen.
[00:28:18] Aden. It is true that this center was delayed.
[00:28:22] It was an old center from 2009, and its headquarters were in Sana'a,
[00:28:25] the capital, Sana'a. But with the last war,
[00:28:28] the entire state was moved to the interim capital, Aden,
[00:28:31] and among the national councils at the national level that were moved to
[00:28:35] Aden is the Council for Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher Education. That is its name
[00:28:39] by law: the Council for Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher
[00:28:42] Education in the Republic of Yemen. And thank
[00:28:45] God for the Council, and now the Council is playing an excellent and wonderful
[00:28:47] role, and it creates movement
[00:28:50] and competition among universities. And last year,
[00:28:54] we participated, last year and the year before last, but last year, the Council created
[00:28:58] competition among universities in an activity it called
[00:29:01] the activity. The activity they call it Quality
[00:29:05] Week, meaning spreading the culture of quality and the concepts
[00:29:08] of quality. And thank God, Saba Region University won first place
[00:29:12] in this activity, and we were honored in Aden. I attended the honoring
[00:29:16] and received the Council's shield
[00:29:20] activity. We are very keen to ensure that the
[00:29:24] educational process proceeds within the quality standards of higher education
[00:29:27] in Yemen. And this is what
[00:29:30] we guarantee with documents. Program
[00:29:33] documents, course documents, and the strategic plan. And we will talk about the strategic
[00:29:37] plan, God willing. God willing. So, with the scientific
[00:29:41] and technological acceleration, Dr. Mohammed, the necessity of keeping pace with modern
[00:29:44] specializations emerges. To what extent does the university keep pace with scientific
[00:29:47] developments, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence
[00:29:50] and technology? In fact,
[00:29:52] we were keen on this matter and
[00:29:56] focused on it from the beginning, and we faced real
[00:30:00] challenges. The reality that the
[00:30:03] country is generally experiencing, and the reality that Marib governorate is experiencing
[00:30:06] in particular, and the reality that
[00:30:09] the community that lives or resides in Marib
[00:30:13] governorate is experiencing. The war has been,
[00:30:16] since 2016, when the university opened,
[00:30:19] Houthi shells have been falling on people's heads, on people's
[00:30:23] homes, and on people's gatherings. We
[00:30:27] a computer department, and this is one of
[00:30:31] the departments that opened for Education, Arts, and Sciences in
[00:30:33] 2006. We built on it in
[00:30:37] 2017, meaning we built on this department and opened
[00:30:40] a new department called Information Systems, and we opened the College
[00:30:43] of Information Technology and Computer Science,
[00:30:46] and we went with it in this way with two departments,
[00:30:49] with a college with two departments, until approximately 2020. And because of our belief
[00:30:53] that we, as a university, must follow
[00:30:57] the specializations,
