The Quality Assurance Unit affirmed that registration with the National Qualifications Framework is a fundamental pillar for documenting and accrediting learning outcomes, linking them to labor market needs and the requirements of sustainable development. It also plays a role in facilitating the academic and professional mobility of graduates and raising the level of recognition of academic qualifications at both the local and international levels.
For his part, Professor Dr. Akmal Shawky Gaballah, Dean of the Faculty of Specific Education, emphasized that the faculty places quality and academic development at the forefront of its priorities, stemming from its belief that institutional excellence begins with developing educational programs and ensuring their alignment with the latest national and international standards.

He affirmed the faculty administration's commitment to providing all forms of support to the academic departments to complete this task according to the highest standards of accuracy and quality.
The Dean of the Faculty added that this approach aligns with Zagazig University's vision and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research's strategy to build a modern educational system based on quality and innovation, linking education to national development needs. This contributes to preparing graduates with the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to meet future challenges.
The Faculty of Specific Education continues to work steadily towards enhancing its academic standing and establishing a culture of quality and accreditation across its various sectors. This stems from the belief that true investment lies in developing advanced educational programs and producing graduates capable of competing and innovating, thus supporting the university's mission of achieving excellence, leadership, and serving the community.
