In turn, Mr. Hassan Khawam praised the College of Media for its pioneering role in preparing skilled media professionals. He also affirmed the Ministry’s readiness to support joint efforts and implement training programs that serve the College’s students and enhance their practical and professional capabilities.
This meeting aligns with the College of Media’s policy of expanding partnerships with state institutions to improve training opportunities and promote active participation in national initiatives aimed at building a knowledge-based and advanced developmental society.
The meeting supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 4, which calls for quality education, and Goal 17, which emphasizes partnerships to achieve the goals.
