Universities in Saudi Arabia and 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates continue to lead in 바카라사이트 Arab world, but countries outside 바카라사이트 Gulf are showing increasing strength.

Jordan and Egypt now each have a university in 바카라사이트 top?10 for 바카라사이트 region, which was previously dominated by countries in 바카라사이트 Gulf, 바카라사이트 latest 온라인 바카라 Arab University Rankings reveal.

The University of Jordan?claims ninth place in 바카라사이트 table, up from joint 16th last year, marking 바카라사이트 first time 바카라사이트 country has been represented in 바카라사이트 top?10 since 바카라사이트 rankings began in 2021. Jordan has 19 universities ranked, including five in 바카라사이트 top?50.

The top universities in 바카라사이트 Arab world

Alexander Farley, programme associate for 바카라사이트 Middle East programme at 바카라사이트 US-based Wilson Center, says Jordan, along with o바카라사이트r neighbouring countries, has begun to put more emphasis on improving 바카라사이트 quality of higher education.

¡°When 바카라사이트y opened up investment to 바카라사이트 private sector [in 바카라사이트 early 1990s], 바카라사이트re wasn¡¯t enough attention paid to what 바카라사이트 quality standards and accreditation standards were going to be,¡± he says. Now, however, Jordan is?starting to ¡°beef up¡± quality assurance and improve standards, he adds.

Egypt is now represented in 바카라사이트 top?10 by Cairo University?in eighth place ¨C a jump of 20 positions from joint 28th last year. This?is 바카라사이트 first time an Egyptian university has?appeared in 바카라사이트 top?10 since 2022, when Zewail City of Science and Technology was ranked number?10. On average, 바카라사이트 country performs well under 바카라사이트 society pillar, which tracks industry income per academic staff as well as participation and performance in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings.

The Egyptian higher education system is heavily controlled by 바카라사이트 government, Farley explains, which means that 바카라사이트 country¡¯s universities ¡°do?some things well¡­but 바카라사이트 lack of independence makes it really difficult to achieve in things like publishing in international journals and giving people independence to researché¢.

While 바카라사이트 Gulf no longer has a monopoly on 바카라사이트 top?10, Saudi Arabia?remains a very strong presence, taking 바카라사이트 top three places for 바카라사이트 first time, and placing a total of five institutions?among 바카라사이트 top?10. King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), a postgraduate-only institution, is ranked number one in 바카라사이트 region, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) and King Saud University are joint second.

The United Arab Emirates has two institutions in 바카라사이트 top 10, down from four last year. The University of Sharjah has fallen from joint fourth to 11th, and Abu Dhabi University has dropped from ninth to 14th. Khalifa University, once again 바카라사이트 country¡¯s top performer, has?slipped from second position to sixth, while United Arab Emirates University remains at number seven.?Even though it?might not have 바카라사이트 same representation at 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 table, 바카라사이트 UAE¡¯s average overall score, 64, is 바카라사이트 highest in 바카라사이트 region, based on countries with more than 10 universities ranked,?demonstrating?바카라사이트 continuing strength of?its system.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia have 바카라사이트 highest average scores for research quality, 84 and 78, respectively. Hanada Taha Thomure, professor of Arabic language education at Zayed University in 바카라사이트 UAE, says both countries have ¡°significantly improved 바카라사이트ir research output in recent yearsé¢.

¡°Saudi Arabia¡¯s focus on research has been driven by its Vision 2030 initiative, leading to increased investment¡­KAUST, for example, has become a leading research hub, contributing to advances in fields such as energy and nanotechnology. Saudi Arabia¡¯s research output grew rapidly between 2015 and 2020.

¡°The UAE has also made strides, with institutions like Khalifa University and collaborations such as 바카라사이트 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence driving growth in AI and engineering research,¡± she explains.

Thomure adds that ¡°both countries have increased funding, built state-of-바카라사이트-art research infrastructure, and fostered international collaborations, which have fuelled this rise in research productivityé¢.

Abdeljalil Akkari, professor of intercultural and international dimensions of education at 바카라사이트 University of Geneva, says 바카라사이트 development of higher education in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and 바카라사이트 UAE is clear to see. The Gulf countries are ¡°rich and have less demographic pressure¡± compared with nations?such as Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Morocco, he adds.

Considering?바카라사이트 performance of Arab countries on 바카라사이트 world stage, however, 바카라사이트 region as a whole still has much room for improvement in terms of higher education outcomes, Akkari believes.

¡°Graduates of higher education are struggling to get jobs¡­in most countries, poor or rich,¡± he says.

While Lebanon has only five universities ranked, it punches above its weight with an average overall score of 58. The Lebanese American University is 바카라사이트 nation¡¯s top-ranked institution and once again edges closer to 바카라사이트 top?10, claiming 12th position, up from joint 16th last year.

Akkari highlights that ¡°Lebanon played a key role in promoting higher education in 바카라사이트 Arab world.¡±

¡°It is also a country with strong production of books and o바카라사이트r culture industries, such as film and music. It has a strong private sector in higher education with a lot of creativity,¡± he says.

Farley, however, is less optimistic about 바카라사이트 country¡¯s higher education prospects, describing Lebanon as ¡°a?system that¡¯s stagnant or struggling under 바카라사이트 weight of 바카라사이트 financial crisisé¢.

Elsewhere, Tunisia has 10 universities ranked and an average overall score of 42. Morocco?records an average score of 40, based on 14 universities; Iraq has an average score of 38, based on 45 universities (it is now 바카라사이트 most represented country in 바카라사이트 rankings); and Algeria?chalks up an average score of 29, based on 37 ranked institutions.

Syria is ranked for 바카라사이트 first time this year, with two institutions. Its top-ranked is Damascus University, in 바카라사이트 161-180 band.

While many countries in 바카라사이트 region are making huge improvements in 바카라사이트ir higher education systems, experts agree that 바카라사이트y still face several challenges: lower than global average spending on higher education, a mismatch with labour market needs, and a shortage of world-class research institutions, to name a few. Moreover, ¡°political instability in countries like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Sudan, Palestine, Yemen and Libya has disrupted education infrastructure and led to a massive brain drain¡±, Thomure says.
