Saudi Shura Council urges Najran University to approve all academic programs

Saudi Arabia’s Shura Council has urged Najran University to speed up approval of all its educational programs.

It also called on the university to expand local and international partnerships and set measures to assess how effective they are.

The council said the partnerships should help prepare students for the job market.

It also called for improvements to students’ experience and academic guidance, including support for those facing difficulties with their studies.

The requests came during a session in which the council discussed issues involving several universities and education bodies.

The council’s education committee said it needed more time to review members’ comments on reports about Umm Al-Qura and Jazan universities.

It plans to return with its views at a later session.
