During his
participation in the QS World Ranking Conference 2023 for the Best Arab
Universities held in the UAE, Salama said five new Arab universities entered the
QS ranking in its latest version, while others maintained their positions.
Salameh, according to an AARU statement issued on
Sunday, said Arab universities have achieved many developments and improvements
in recent years. However, he added, many still suffer from a lack of human and
financial resources, overcrowding and poor quality.
In the statement, he stressed AARU realized the
importance of Arab universities’ rankings as a “major” goal in its strategic
plan for 2019–2030.
To achieve its future plans, he noted AARU is
putting the final touches on the Arab university ranking system, which takes
into account international classifications and is scheduled to be announced
publicly at the beginning of next year.
This future system, he noted, will activate new standards
that measure for the first time extent of Arab universities’ excellence in
innovation, creativity and leadership fields in a two- year period.
