His excellency The General Director of the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training

Dr. Hassan Mohammed Alfajam

Higher education plays a crucial role in the progress of societies and knowledge. Given the increasing challenges in education, it's now essential for educational institutions to meet strict global standards to ensure the quality and credibility of their outcomes.

Since its establishment, the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training has been dedicated to supporting development goals and being a leading educational institution in Kuwait. It's also committed to keeping up with modern global education standards in line with Kuwait's Vision 2035, which emphasizes the importance of high-quality education.

The first Academic Accreditation Forum is an important opportunity for educators and representatives of international accreditation organizations. It highlights how academic accreditation can help improve educational programs, higher education graduates, and meet job market needs. This brings together public and private higher education institutions in Kuwait with representatives from various international accreditation organizations to share experiences and knowledge.

There is no doubt that the success of these efforts will strengthen the role of higher education and its contribution to achieving sustainable development through the development and improvement of the educational and academic system according to the highest and best global standards.
