Prof. Husain Abdulrahman Basalama, Minister of Higher Education & Scientific Research, paid a visit to Hadhramout University (HU) to hold a meeting with HU Council headed by its president Prof. Mohamed Saeed Khanbash, and with the attendance of the Council's members.
During the meeting, Prof. Basalama showed the 2020 strategic plan of the Ministry which aims to the promotion of university education, development of study plans and how to benefit from the experience of other universities abroad. He also pointed out that the Ministry will report all HU demands to the Cabinet to be discussed.
"I thank Hadhramout University for the organization of this meeting that enabled me to listen closely to their problems and report them to the Government," Prof. Basalama said.
Prof. Khanbash also showed some of the University achievements under the circumstances that Yemen has been going through; hardships and problems facing the University, including the budget, employment of academics and staff as well as undergraduate and graduate programs.
"We have opened new qualitative graduate programs that cope with the labor market, and yet we are calling on the Ministry of Higher Education and the Government to quickly contribute to solving our problems in order to continue the educational and academic process in our colleges. All Yemeni universities must be treated equally," Prof. Khanbash said.
