Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Marwan Al-Halabi affirmed that the legislative decrees issued by President Ahmed al-Sharaa today, Sunday, which include the approval and establishment of several colleges in Syrian universities, represent an important step towards completing the academic infrastructure of university institutions. The minister pointed out that this step aims to expand higher education opportunities and enhance its geographical spread in line with societal needs and students' aspirations.
For his part, Al-Halabi noted on his Facebook page that the decrees concerning colleges at Idlib University hold special importance, as they constituted during the years of the revolution a space to preserve knowledge and continue the educational process. He highlighted that their approval today and their inclusion within the legal framework regulating universities is a consolidation of their academic trajectory and an appreciation of their role in protecting education despite exceptional circumstances.
In the same context, Al-Halabi considered that the establishment of new colleges in the universities of Aleppo, Hama, the Euphrates, Tartous, and Latakia reflects a trend towards building a more widespread and balanced higher education system. He pointed out that the ministry views these decrees as a foundational step requiring serious institutional work to complete implementation requirements and secure the necessary staff and resources to ensure educational quality and academic accreditation.
The minister added that investing in education is investing in Syria's future, and that the university the ministry aspires to is one that opens its doors to the sons of all governorates. He affirmed that its goal is not merely increasing the number of colleges, but building effective university institutions capable of preparing competencies, producing knowledge, and serving society.
President Ahmed al-Sharaa issued earlier today, Sunday, a set of legislative decrees regarding the establishment and approval of several colleges in Syrian universities. This step comes within an educational policy that provides broader educational opportunities for students in various governorates and contributes to meeting labor market needs and development requirements.
