Activities: The Supreme Council of Universities delineates a general policy of university education and scientific research in order to attain national objectives in social, economic, cultural and scientific development plans. It also determines admission numbers, fields of specialisation, equivalence etc.; is involved with the Egyptian Universities Network (EUN), which links university computer centres and research institutes throughout Egypt and is also the Egyptian gateway to the Internet and TERENA (Trans European Research and Educational Network Association). The SCU connects all national networks in all sectors; has 24 Members, a library of 120945 Volumes (English and Arabic) and 9760 Micro fiches (English and Arabic). The Supreme Council of Universities (SCU) was established in 1950 to plan the policy of the university education and scientific research as well as to coordinate among the Egyptian governmental universities. It is presided by the Minister of Higher Education and State for Scientific Research and directed by a Secretary- General, the universities’ Presidents and 5 experienced members in the higher education and public affairs. Within the framework of our responsibilities, the council issues all laws and decisions related to graduate and post-graduate studies, curricula and universities’ regulations as well as the faculty staff members’ affairs. It also determines the students’ yearly number and admission rules to different


faculties. The council sets up a number of committees to assist in carrying out its duties, these committees include the Committee of Sectors, Committee of Accreditation of Academic Degrees, Committee of Academic Work Evaluation, Committee of Cultural Relations and Miscellaneous Committees. Our vision is to enhance the higher education system to cope with the international standards. To make this vision true, the SCU signed a number of agreements with many international universities and institutions. The aim of these agreements is to achieve the cooperation between the Egyptian universities and the international academic community to exchange knowledge and experience in terms of the educational methodologies and the use of advanced technologies such as distance education and E-Learning. The essential objective of the higher education in Egypt is to produce quality education and a student that has the know-how and knowledge. To achieve this objective, the Ministry of Higher Education has put forward a strategic reform plan in 2000, known as the Higher Education Enhancement Project (HEEP) that has been translated into projects addressing the diverse areas of reform and enhancement. Six of these projects are already under implementation. They are the Faculty Leadership Development Project (FLDP), Higher Education Enhancement Project Fund (HEEPF), Higher Education Institutes Enhancement Project (HEIEP), Information Communication Technology Project (ICTP), Quality Assurance and Accreditation Project (QAAP), Faculties of Education Enhancement Project (FOEP). These projects aim to promote the skills and capabilities essential on both academic and technological levels in the higher education community. As an electronic gateway to knowledge, and recognition of the technological advancement and progress, the SCU established the Egyptian Universities Network (EUN) in 1987 with a major objective of achieving the interlink among the Egyptian universities and connect them to the international academic community. EUN is the main Internet provider in Egypt since October 1993. It provides the Top Level Domain (.eg) and Sub domains (.edu- .com- .org- .net- .gov- .mil) with bandwidth started by 64 kbps and recently accelerated to 56 Mbps. It also provides individuals with value-added services and different resources of information. It is a member of the EUMEDConnect, GEANT and Internet2 programs.
