[00:00:03] 44 doctoral students We have already started
[00:00:05] and 504 master's students,
[00:00:27] Today, we are receiving, a fundamental pillar in building societies
[00:00:31] and producing
[00:00:32] accommodation, this amount competencies and keeping pace with scientific
[00:00:35] and technological transformations. In Ma'rib Governorate,
[00:00:39] we say this. Saba Region University strict than represents one of the academic institutions
[00:00:42] on which
[00:00:44] on this matter. In great hope is placed in qualifying youth and expanding
[00:00:48] programs higher education opportunities and contributing to the development process
[00:00:54] and a competitor. This situation, of course, is not We have despite the challenges imposed by the war conditions and limited capabilities. But to what
[00:00:58] distributed among the five programs. extent has the university achieved its goals?
[00:01:00] What is the reality of the quality of education and specializations?
[00:01:04] Have its outputs kept pace with the needs of the labor market?
[00:01:08] What are its plans for a more developed
[00:01:30] what it has achieved today. How do you evaluate the journey of Saba
[00:01:33] Region University since its establishment and what are the most prominent achievements
[00:01:37] during these
[00:02:00] as you know, started with a college. This college started in
[00:02:03] 2006. It was established due to political circumstances
[00:02:06] at that time, unfortunately, and not
[00:02:09] in bachelor's degrees, due to scientific circumstances or scientific needs
[00:02:12] or to achieve scientific goals, but
[00:02:16] rather it was established to achieve political goals
[00:02:19] in 2006.
[00:02:22] The local authority did not fail us It did not receive the necessary attention and care
[00:02:26] that should be given to any college opened
[00:02:30] Its headquarters is in any governorate. It was, of course, a college affiliated with Sana'a University
[00:02:33] and remained providing
[00:02:37] started in the college its services with great difficulty until
[00:02:40] 2013. In 2013, education there stopped.
[00:02:43] Then we resumed work
[00:02:46] in, that is, in there specifically on November 8, 2016.
[00:02:49] We started with the College of Education, Arts, and Sciences,
[00:02:53] this number because as it was called then. On
[00:02:56] November 16, 2016,
[00:03:00] which is approximately three months after the college opened or resumed
[00:03:05] focusing on this its work, to be precise, a presidential decree was issued to establish Saba Region University.
[00:03:09] We started with
[00:03:11] under the university's name the specializations that were in the college, but
[00:03:14] in the same year,
[00:03:17] we opened two colleges: the College of Sharia and Law and the College of Administrative
[00:03:21] and Financial Sciences. Its initial name was the College of Administrative Sciences,
[00:03:25] the university as a monthly then after about two years, we changed its name to the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences.
[00:03:27] It had two departments, but
[00:03:30] if we move to today, today, Saba Region
[00:03:34] University now
[00:03:38] 244,000. This we started with this number in the college, includes seven colleges, and among these colleges is the College of Medicine, which, God willing,
[00:03:42] and components from the local two months from this interview, or three months,
[00:03:45] we will all celebrate, God willing, the graduation of the first batch
[00:03:48] from the College of Medicine, human medicine, general surgery,
[00:03:52] God willing. Approximately 47 male
[00:03:56] and female students will graduate with us
[00:04:00] as the first batch to graduate
[00:04:03] from the College of Medicine, Saba Region University.
[00:04:07] Indeed, we have been keen The name of our college is the College of Medicine
[00:04:08] level in scientific and not the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, but rather
[00:04:12] its name is the College of Medicine.
[00:04:15] We also have the College of Information Technology
[00:04:17] where and Computer Science. Of course, the College of Medicine has only one department so far,
[00:04:20] one department. The College of Information
[00:04:23] Technology and Computer Science has five
[00:04:25] specializations.
[00:04:28] Among the specializations available there is cybersecurity.
[00:04:31] Our students in cybersecurity are currently at the third level.
[00:04:35] We also have a new specialization this year, artificial
[00:04:38] intelligence. We are receiving the first batch
[00:04:42] this year, in addition
[00:04:45] to education specializations,
[00:04:47] at the university and all Yemeni arts specializations,
[00:04:49] specialized computer labs science specializations,
[00:04:51] and a specialized computer college and administrative and financial sciences, and Sharia and Law, as
[00:04:55] I mentioned. The programs we currently
[00:04:57] in the new building offer at the university for the bachelor's level are 33
[00:05:00] scientific programs. So today we have 17 seven
[00:05:04] colleges, 33
[00:05:08] programs
[00:05:10] the latest developments, for bachelor's degrees, applied programs and humanities
[00:05:13] and administrative programs. We also opened
[00:05:16] master's programs in 2018 and started with three programs.
[00:05:20] Today, we have approximately 30
[00:05:23] master's and doctoral programs open at the university.
[00:05:25] 25 master's programs
[00:05:29] distributed among the colleges of Arts, Education,
[00:05:33] Sciences, Computer Science,
[00:05:36] and Administration.
[00:05:39] this week and last week,
[00:05:43] students in the Business Administration department
[00:05:47] for the master's program. We will soon, God willing,
[00:05:50] also open executive business administration,
[00:05:53] God willing. The important thing is that we now have
[00:05:57] approximately 25 master's
[00:06:00] and five doctoral programs.
[00:06:04] approximately 44
[00:06:07] male and female doctoral students
[00:06:10] We have 504 students distributed among
[00:06:14] master's specializations. The number of those
[00:06:18] who have already been awarded
[00:06:21] a master's degree from
[00:06:25] 120 male and female students in various
[00:06:28] specializations. We have three centers
[00:06:31] also at the university, which are important centers:
[00:06:34] the Center for Academic Development and Quality Assurance, which is concerned
[00:06:38] with the quality of the educational process at the university and observing
[00:06:42] or monitoring the
[00:06:44] indicators of academic accreditation
[00:06:48] or academic accreditation standards and the extent of their application in the educational
[00:06:52] process in general at the university. We also have two centers,
[00:06:56] and we consider the other two
[00:06:58] centers to be a service to the community,
[00:07:02] which are the Language and Translation Center
[00:07:05] and the Research and Community Service Center.
[00:07:09] This is approximately what the university has achieved
[00:07:13] after ten years: seven colleges, three centers,
[00:07:17] three scientific centers, 33 specializations
[00:07:22] 30 specializations in master's
[00:07:25] studies and doctoral studies.
[00:07:29] Excellent, Dr. Mohammed. With the expansion of the university's
[00:07:33] role, the student enrollment figures stand out.
[00:07:36] How many male and female students are currently
[00:07:40] enrolled, and how will it be managed
[00:07:43] if the number increases?
[00:07:46] Of course, we
[00:07:50] with 17 classrooms and a lab.
[00:07:52] In the first year of the university's establishment
[00:07:56] in 2016-2017, we received
[00:07:58] 1659 male and female students.
[00:08:01] I still remember
[00:08:05] for us at the university, it is a significant number, and it is the foundational
[00:08:09] year, as they say, and an important number.
[00:08:12] We remember it because it is the beginning
[00:08:16] of the university. Today, after ten years,
[00:08:19] and the graduation of five batches
[00:08:23] from the university, the last of these batches was celebrated by all of us
[00:08:27] last year, with the presence of the Deputy
[00:08:30] Commander, Sultan.
[00:08:34] He honored us at that ceremony, and almost everyone
[00:08:37] knew about the ceremony, where 112
[00:08:40] graduated last year.
[00:08:42] 1142 students.
[00:08:45] In any case,
[00:08:49] with 235 students. In the first year, we accepted
[00:08:52] 1659
[00:08:56] male and female students. Today, we are at Saba Region University. For bachelor's
[00:08:59] degrees only,
[00:09:02] those who are currently studying
[00:09:03] are 19,362
[00:09:07] male and female students, distributed among the 33 bachelor's specializations.
[00:09:10] I said we had 17 classrooms
[00:09:14] and labs. Today, thank God, we started focusing on
[00:09:17] the infrastructure, the classrooms
[00:09:21] and labs that can accommodate this number, because the situation is a war
[00:09:24] situation, and the country's situation also does not allow for construction.
[00:09:28] In Yemeni law, every college is considered an infrastructure that must have
[00:09:31] its complete and independent infrastructure. We focused on classrooms
[00:09:35] and labs. Today, at the university, there are, besides the new college that
[00:09:38] we opened about two months ago,
[00:09:42] 64 classrooms and 13 labs. These 64
[00:09:46] classrooms and 13 or 14 labs accommodate
[00:09:49] the students currently at the university. There are six
[00:09:53] colleges. Two months ago, we moved to the new college, which is
[00:09:57] the College of Information Technology and Computer Science. It has about seven
[00:10:04] and 14 classrooms. It provides
[00:10:07] computer college services
[00:10:10] on the new campus of the university. 1600
[00:10:13] students. The 1600 are, of course, part of
[00:10:17] the 19,362
[00:10:19] students. This is approximately the number of students distributed
[00:10:23] among the postgraduate students:
[00:10:30] besides the courses
[00:10:32] and programs offered
[00:10:35] by the Language Center and the Research and Community
[00:10:38] Service Center. Last year, approximately
[00:10:42] 25 people benefited from
[00:10:45] the Language Center, approximately 1800 students in various
[00:10:49] courses. The number of hours we provided at the Research
[00:10:52] and Community Service Center last year was approximately 11,000
[00:10:56] hours. We provided them in general
[00:11:00] programs and courses
[00:11:03] for community service. Yes, Dr. Mohammed, the success of a university
[00:11:06] is not measured by the number of its students
[00:11:10] and colleges only, but by the quality of education it provides.
[00:11:13] How do you ensure the quality of the educational process in light of the circumstances
[00:11:17] the country is going through? Indeed, the circumstances have
[00:11:21] affected everyone, even a man in his home,
[00:11:25] and children at school. At all levels
[00:11:28] of people's lives, the general circumstances and the war that
[00:11:32] the Houthi militias have waged and are still waging
[00:11:35] on the country, its resources, the Yemeni people, and state institutions
[00:11:41] everyone. But
[00:11:44] that we try
[00:11:47] as much as possible, with the available resources, to defy
[00:11:52] situation. From the early days
[00:11:55] of the university, we were keen
[00:11:58] to establish the Center for Academic Development and Quality Assurance
[00:12:04] in 2018. That is, approximately
[00:12:07] one and a half years after the university
[00:12:10] This center is concerned with
[00:12:14] the quality of the entire educational process,
[00:12:17] starting from the training aspects,
[00:12:21] through the description
[00:12:24] of academic programs and the description of academic courses
[00:12:27] and their follow-up,
[00:12:30] meaning measuring
[00:12:34] student performance, classroom quality,
[00:12:37] lab quality, the environment or the educational
[00:12:41] environment in general at the university, within
[00:12:45] national standards
[00:12:48] led by the Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance Council
[00:12:52] of Higher Education in the Republic of Yemen.
[00:12:55] in the interim capital, Aden. It is true that this center
[00:12:59] was delayed. It was an old center since 2009, and its headquarters was in Sana'a,
[00:13:02] the capital. But with the recent war,
[00:13:05] the entire state was moved to the interim capital, Aden.
[00:13:09] Among the national councils at the national level
[00:13:12] that were moved to Aden is the Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance Council of Higher Education. Its name
[00:13:16] is thus, by law, the Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance Council
[00:13:20] of Higher Education in the Republic of Yemen. The council
[00:13:22] is now playing an excellent and wonderful role.
[00:13:26] It is creating momentum and competition among universities.
[00:13:30] Last year, we participated last year and the year before last,
[00:13:33] but last year the council created competition among universities in
[00:13:37] an activity called "Quality
[00:13:41] Week" to spread the culture
[00:13:44] of quality and quality concepts. Thank God,
[00:13:48] Saba Region University won first place in this activity,
[00:13:51] and we were honored in Aden. I attended the honoring ceremony and received the council's
[00:13:55] shield
[00:13:58] in this activity. We are very keen to ensure that the educational
[00:14:01] process proceeds within the quality standards of higher education
[00:14:04] in Yemen, and this is what
[00:14:07] we guarantee through the program documents,
[00:14:11] the course documents, and the strategic plan. We will talk about the strategic
[00:14:15] plan, God willing. God willing. So, with scientific
[00:14:18] and technological acceleration, Dr. Mohammed, the necessity of keeping pace
[00:14:21] with modern specializations emerges. To what extent
[00:14:25] does the university keep pace with scientific developments, especially in the fields of artificial
[00:14:28] intelligence and technology?
[00:14:32] on this matter and focused on it from the beginning.
[00:14:35] We faced real challenges.
[00:14:39] The reality in which the country lives in general, and the reality
[00:14:42] in which Ma'rib Governorate lives in particular,
[00:14:45] and the reality in which the community
[00:14:49] that lives or resides in Ma'rib Governorate lives. The war,
[00:14:52] since 2016,
[00:14:56] when the university opened, and the Houthi missiles were raining
[00:14:59] down on people's heads, on people's homes, and on people's gatherings.
[00:15:03] We had at the beginning
[00:15:06] a computer department, and this is one of the departments that opened in the College of Education,
[00:15:10] Arts, and Sciences in 2006.
[00:15:13] We built on it in 2017.
[00:15:16] We built on this department and opened a new department called
[00:15:19] Information Systems, and we opened the College of Information Technology and Computer Science.
[00:15:23] We continued with this situation with two departments
[00:15:27] in the college for almost two years, and out of our belief
[00:15:30] that we, as a university, must follow
[00:15:35] especially in the specializations
[00:15:38] that have demand in the labor market.
[00:15:41] We added IT to
[00:15:44] computer science, then we added cybersecurity in 2023,
[00:15:48] and this year, as I mentioned earlier, we added artificial
[00:15:51] intelligence. We hope that the College of Information
[00:15:55] Technology and Computer Science, God willing, in the technical
[00:15:58] aspect, will meet
[00:16:01] and keep up with new specializations, God willing, and strive
[00:16:04] to open them as much as possible and also strive
[00:16:07] for the quality of the educational and training
[00:16:11] material for the student so that the student
[00:16:13] graduates armed with a professional aspect and knowledge
[00:16:16] for the labor market. We are keen
[00:16:21] the technical aspect, we feel that we have
[00:16:24] competed. We don't say we have competed, but we have
[00:16:28] strived to provide specialized
[00:16:31] scientific services that the labor market needs,
[00:16:34] foremost among them artificial intelligence, which today
[00:16:38] has become a cry among all people, artificial intelligence, and also cybersecurity,
[00:16:41] in addition to the specializations that were available early on,
[00:16:45] which are computer science and IT and information
[00:16:48] systems that colleges used to offer previously.
[00:16:52] We have a strategic
[00:16:55] from 2021 to 2025 with a strategic plan that we called the First
[00:16:58] Strategic Plan, and in it we outlined the university's features
[00:17:02] and how it will be at the end of the first five years of the university.
[00:17:06] These are the features that we are in today, and we are
[00:17:09] satisfied with them despite the circumstances
[00:17:12] and obstacles that we faced, foremost among these obstacles
[00:17:16] is the general situation of the country.
[00:17:19] this, and people appreciate this, and students appreciate this.
[00:17:23] That is, the construction aspect,
[00:17:26] Chapter Four. I always say that Chapter Four,
[00:17:30] over the past ten years, the state has not allocated to Saba Region University
[00:17:33] except two billion
[00:17:36] minus about 50 million. I remember
[00:17:39] the number. The first allocation was
[00:17:42] 22200. The second allocation was 750,
[00:17:45] sorry, 222 million. The second allocation was 750 million. The third
[00:17:49] allocation was one billion minus one million. That is, almost
[00:17:53] one billion and 97 million
[00:17:56] Yemeni Rials over these ten years.
[00:18:00] in the infrastructure and intervened
[00:18:03] a lot in what is the case.
[00:18:06] Unfortunately, the international organizations concerned
[00:18:09] with education did not approach the university,
[00:18:12] despite our follow-up and our presentation of its projects
[00:18:16] and our desire for it to be a partner with us. Only the Saudi
[00:18:18] Program for the Reconstruction of Yemen responded,
[00:18:22] which built us 16 student
[00:18:26] residences there and the building of the academic vice-dean's office,
[00:18:30] the three vice-deanships for academic affairs, postgraduate studies, and student affairs. The World Assembly
[00:18:34] participated with us in building the mosque. I say participated, not
[00:18:37] built the mosque alone, but the university participated,
[00:18:41] and the Research and Translation Center.
[00:18:44] Student Care Association established with us the health unit there.
[00:18:47] The Humanitarian Origins Association participated
[00:18:51] with us in the College of Information Technology and Computer Science there. Today,
[00:18:54] we are also, in partnership with the local authority,
[00:18:58] handed over, about a month ago, the site of the College of Administrative
[00:19:02] and Financial Sciences. The contractor
[00:19:05] is also working with the association.
[00:19:08] This profit-making association participated with us in building
[00:19:11] the university's infrastructure that we are currently
[00:19:14] working with. In any case, we return to the question and say that we
[00:19:17] are keen to open scientific specializations that the community
[00:19:21] needs. We have physics, we have mathematics, we have
[00:19:25] geology, we have chemistry, we have, that is,
[00:19:29] biology, we have computer
[00:19:32] science specializations that I mentioned. We have medicine. The strategic
[00:19:36] plan, and the second also, we have
[00:19:39] a group of colleges that we hope to open by the end
[00:19:43] of 2031, and a group of centers,
[00:19:46] approximately three centers,
[00:19:49] and also a group of specializations that belong to the existing
[00:19:52] colleges, for example, the College of Medicine, we can expand in it.
[00:19:56] The College of Computer Science, we can expand in it. The College of Administrative Sciences, we can
[00:19:59] also expand in it, in addition to the existing programs
[00:20:03] in it currently. Yes, Doctor, scientific
[00:20:06] research represents one of the criteria for the development of university
[00:20:10] institutions. What is the reality of scientific research at the university, and what support
[00:20:13] do faculty members and researchers receive?
[00:20:17] This is one of the fundamental problems
[00:20:21] that we suffer from
[00:20:25] universities, but
[00:20:27] the professor strives, and allow me
[00:20:30] here to seize this opportunity and talk about
[00:20:34] this issue in particular. The professor
[00:20:37] used to receive 219
[00:20:41] Yemeni Rials until before
[00:20:45] the events, until the year 2020.
[00:20:47] Of course, it was 219
[00:20:50] thousand Yemeni Rials, which is approximately
[00:20:54] 1100 dollars. The professor's
[00:20:56] salary is still the same. Dr. Moeen Abdulmalek,
[00:21:00] thankfully, added approximately 30,000 Yemeni Rials
[00:21:04] for the professor, so the professor
[00:21:07] receives, as they say, 244
[00:21:10] thousand Yemeni Rials per month.
[00:21:14] Today, 244,000 is not 200
[00:21:17] dollars. If he goes to the market and looks for
[00:21:22] is not enough for the professor's accommodation. So the situation of the university professor
[00:21:25] in general, and I say through our channel, Yemen Channel,
[00:21:29] We know the state's situation,
[00:21:32] but we must pay attention to this
[00:21:35] issue. The professor receives 244
[00:21:39] thousand Yemeni Rials, and we want the professor to be a researcher and a teacher
[00:21:44] sustainable. Therefore, we say and hope
[00:21:48] that the state, despite its current circumstances,
[00:21:51] will pay attention to the professor. This has affected the professor's
[00:21:55] performance. It will certainly affect the professor's performance in the classroom, in the lab, and in research.
[00:21:59] Nevertheless, we at the university strive in the issue
[00:22:03] of scientific research and encouraging
[00:22:06] professors, encouraging them morally. As for
[00:22:09] financially, we cannot actually provide for the professor
[00:22:12] a financial aspect
[00:22:15] so that he can publish his research. Nevertheless, we find some
[00:22:19] professors struggle
[00:22:23] and search here and there and publish their research. We started with
[00:22:26] this matter at the university with two axes. The first axis is
[00:22:30] the establishment of a refereed scientific journal at the university, which
[00:22:34] was established at the university in 2018. Today, the journal is almost
[00:22:38] in its ninth volume, and each
[00:22:40] volume publishes two issues. So we are now in
[00:22:44] the 18th issue of the journal. This is a refereed
[00:22:48] scientific journal concerned with scientific research,
[00:22:50] where professors from the university and other universities
[00:22:54] who contact us publish as researchers at the national
[00:22:58] and international level. The second axis
[00:23:01] that we pursued at the university is holding scientific
[00:23:04] seminars and conferences. We held two scientific
[00:23:08] conferences at the university during these ten years, and they were
[00:23:11] reputable scientific conferences, we can say.
[00:23:14] The first scientific conference was in 2022, and the first
[00:23:18] medical conference was in 2025
[00:23:22] or 2024 in May 2024, approximately.
[00:23:26] We encourage morally, as I
[00:23:29] said, that
[00:23:32] the academic university publish
[00:23:36] the international scientific research databases, in Scopus,
[00:23:40] and Q1 and Q2. These are international journals,
[00:23:43] even though the cost of publishing
[00:23:46] in them is very high. We are, within the strategic
[00:23:50] plan for the year 2027-2031,
[00:23:55] matter more. and cry out, and we hope
[00:23:58] that the state hears
[00:24:02] our cry, that the situation of the university professor is
[00:24:05] a deplorable situation, if I may say so.
[00:24:08] The financial amount that the professor
[00:24:11] receives from
[00:24:15] salary, that is,
[00:24:18] 244,000, everyone knows this. I am not saying anything
[00:24:22] secret. All universities, all our colleagues throughout the Republic
[00:24:26] of Yemen, receive
[00:24:28] amount is not even enough to cover rent,
[00:24:32] let alone the professor's other needs, let alone
[00:24:35] providing the professor with
[00:24:38] the atmosphere and the capabilities
[00:24:41] that help him achieve
[00:24:45] stability and psychological calm and follow up on new developments in his specialization
[00:24:48] and submit scientific research, let alone
[00:24:51] publishing in international journals
[00:24:55] that raise the university's
[00:24:58] research. Yes, Dr. Mohammed, let's now go to
[00:25:02] a short break, and then we will return. Stay with us, dear viewers, to continue
[00:25:06] the discussion about Saba Region University and the challenges
[00:25:10] it faces despite the current
[00:25:12] war
[00:25:14] situation.
[00:25:30] the issue most closely related to students' future
[00:25:33] after graduation. To what extent do the university's outputs match
[00:25:36] the needs of the labor market in Ma'rib and neighboring
[00:25:39] governorates?
[00:25:42] First, I would like to correct that we have three scientific
[00:25:46] centers: the Academic Development and Quality Assurance Center, the Language
[00:25:49] and Translation Center, and the Research
[00:25:53] and Community Service Center. To clarify
[00:25:56] further, the Research and Community Service Center has two tracks:
[00:25:59] the training courses track and the community
[00:26:02] research track.
[00:26:05] on this track, the community research track.
[00:26:09] We have
[00:26:12] conducted approximately 35 researches.
[00:26:15] The difference between the research produced by the Research
[00:26:19] Center and the scientific
[00:26:22] research published in refereed scientific journals is that
[00:26:26] the latter are refereed scientific researches published
[00:26:30] in refereed scientific journals,
[00:26:32] while the research conducted by the Research
[00:26:36] Center is less
[00:26:41] refereed scientific research. We return to
[00:26:44] the question you raised, which is the issue
[00:26:48] of
[00:26:51] the university keeping pace with the needs of the labor market
[00:26:54] in scientific specializations. In fact, I will talk
[00:26:58] about this issue from two angles.
[00:27:01] The first angle: We at the university have been keen
[00:27:05] on this matter from the beginning of our establishment of the university.
[00:27:08] We built on the existing specializations.
[00:27:12] The existing specializations that were in the College of Education, Arts, and Sciences were
[00:27:15] 15 specializations when the college started, but when we came, these
[00:27:19] specializations open to students had decreased
[00:27:23] to seven specializations. We built on these seven specializations, then
[00:27:26] we searched for the specializations that the community needs.
[00:27:30] Therefore, accounting, marketing, financial
[00:27:34] sciences, banking, public administration, business administration—these are some
[00:27:37] of the specializations that the community needs.
[00:27:41] So we established the College of
[00:27:44] Administrative Sciences and Finance with two specializations.
[00:27:48] We started with administration and accounting
[00:27:51] specializations, then marketing
[00:27:55] came after that, and then financial and banking sciences,
[00:27:58] then public administration. We established Al-Jawf College,
[00:28:02] which is the only college
[00:28:05] since 1962, that is, the September 26
[00:28:08] Revolution, until 2017, higher education had not entered
[00:28:12] Al-Jawf Governorate. The University of Iqli
[00:28:15] Saba, we can say, had the initiative
[00:28:18] and the lead in establishing a college. We established the college, and after we established
[00:28:21] the college, we sat with the local authority and we sat with components of the local
[00:28:25] authority, asking what are the governorate's needs
[00:28:29] and what are the specializations that the university can offer. And the governorate
[00:28:33] is in need of them. We sat in sessions,
[00:28:36] workshops, and agreed on a set of specializations, and we gave
[00:28:40] the college a broad name so that it could accommodate more than one specialization.
[00:28:44] We named it the College of Education, Human and Applied Sciences
[00:28:47] so that we could give it a broad name, actually,
[00:28:50] but to give an opportunity
[00:28:52] to students
[00:28:55] and the needs of society from the specializations
[00:28:58] we opened in it. We opened mathematics,
[00:29:01] we opened life sciences, we opened English,
[00:29:04] we opened general administration, computer science,
[00:29:07] we opened specializations that the environmental authority
[00:29:10] there was in need of. We also return to the main
[00:29:14] center in the university when we opened information technology and computer
[00:29:17] science, we converted it into a college. We also took into account the needs
[00:29:21] of the labor market, the College of Medicine,
[00:29:24] during which the study lasted almost two years.
[00:29:27] And our colleagues
[00:29:30] working in the health field in hospitals participated here,
[00:29:33] meaning, and I don't want to mention his name, but they participated with us in a workshop,
[00:29:36] and we held a workshop almost in 2019, and Brother Major General and Brother
[00:29:40] Lieutenant General, Brother Deputy, attended this workshop with us,
[00:29:45] authority and from
[00:29:48] the community participated in developing the programs, in developing
[00:29:52] the program documents.
[00:29:54] We are keen to conduct
[00:29:58] a community workshop for every specialization, for every
[00:30:01] specialization, and we prepare its document. The community workshop must be held,
[00:30:05] and in the community workshop, we target, or it is attended by, department
[00:30:09] professors, students who are studying in the department, graduated
[00:30:13] students, local authorities,
[00:30:17] private institutions,
[00:30:20] this graduate can work, for example, banks
[00:30:23] or money exchanges or exchange offices,
[00:30:26] large commercial stores, Sharia
[00:30:29] and Law, judicial enforcement officers
[00:30:33] in general, the prosecution,
[00:30:36] the court, lawyers. We are keen
[00:30:40] to hold community practices, and every
[00:30:43] program, meaning we prepared its document, and all
[00:30:47] programs in our university, praise be to God, and this is what we are proud of,
[00:30:51] we prepared their documents according to the quality and academic
[00:30:54] accreditation standards in the Yemeni Republic. We held this
[00:30:57] workshop, so we are keen.
