SANA'A August 06. 2024 (Saba) - The Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance Council in Sana'a received on Tuesday a formal request from Ibb University to provide technical and advisory support for the accreditation of their "Medicine and Surgery" and "Laboratory Medicine" programs.

He highlighted the unprecedented development in higher education in Yemen, despite the challenges of siege, aggression, and limited resources.
Minister Hazeb also acknowledged the political leadership and government’s support for higher education, particularly for emerging educational institutions, and emphasized the strategic importance of Ibb province as the geographical heart of Yemen, which serves as a strategic and populous center embracing individuals from various provinces.
Dr. al-Haboub and Dr. Mohammed Daif Allah, Secretary-General of the Academic Accreditation Council, reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to improving academic programs at Yemeni universities to achieve national programmatic accreditation, which is a prerequisite for international recognition.
Dr. al-Hajili, President of Ibb University, praised the Ministry of Higher Education and the Academic Accreditation Council for their efforts in supporting the university’s programs, enabling them to meet the requirements for academic accreditation and progress towards achieving international accreditation for the Medicine and Surgery program.
