Tanta University President:
In implementation of the directives of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi… we harness our capabilities to build the Egyptian citizen.
By the numbers: 410 high-impact development convoys delivering medical services to 119,000 citizens and achieving literacy success for 83,000 learners.
The only Egyptian university shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Award for Environmental Leadership 2025, achieving a 20% increase in profits.
An unprecedented leap in knowledge-based investment supporting the green economy.
Prof. Mohamed Hussein, Tanta University President, announced the University’s Annual Performance Report for 2025, which highlighted an unprecedented leap in the University’s developmental role and the expansion of its services across all pillars of sustainable development. The community service sector operated through an integrated strategy aligned with presidential initiatives, successfully delivering comprehensive development convoys that reached thousands of beneficiaries.
This included the implementation of 137 medical convoys providing healthcare services to 118,931 citizens, in addition to reproductive health, economic empowerment, and humanitarian assistance convoys. Efforts also extended to protecting livestock through 121 veterinary convoys that examined more than 379,000 heads of livestock and poultry during the fiscal year 2024/2025 through the end of 2025, firmly establishing the University as a key partner in serving rural Egypt.
In the field of human capacity building, the University achieved a record milestone in literacy eradication, with 83,633 learners successfully completing literacy programs during the same period. This coincided with the launch of “Digital Literacy” initiatives targeting hundreds of trainees in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as activating administrative digitization initiatives in cooperation with Noor Misr Foundation. Beyond education, the University extended support to financially distressed students and persons with disabilities by covering tuition fees totaling EGP 4.6 million, providing advanced assistive and interactive devices, and offering Braille printing services in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Solidarity—affirming the principles of equal opportunity and social justice.
On the international and environmental front, Tanta University asserted its global presence in sustainability, becoming the only Egyptian university shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Environmental Leadership Award 2025, while achieving advanced positions in the Green Metric and QS Sustainability rankings. This excellence translated into tangible outcomes through the development of 4,313 scientific research projects in sustainable development fields, the planting of thousands of fruit-bearing trees, and funding 11 prototype projects in renewable energy and smart transportation. These efforts contributed to a 20.6% increase in profits for special-nature centers and units, and opened new employment opportunities through 10 job fairs that provided more than 2,200 job opportunities from the beginning of the 2024/2025 academic year through the end of 2025.
In this context, Prof. Mohamed Hussein emphasized that the University places “building the human being” at the top of its priorities, noting that these achievements are the result of the collective efforts of the University community in implementing the directives of the political leadership and the “New Beginning for Human Development” initiative. He affirmed that Tanta University has become a tireless hub providing medical, awareness, and technological support to the surrounding community, reiterating the University’s commitment to sustaining its leadership as a center of expertise and a driving force for development in the Delta region.
For his part, Prof. Mahmoud Selim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, stated that the report reflects a strategic shift toward “investment in knowledge” and strengthening links between the University and the industrial sector. This was crowned by the signing of 22 cooperation protocols with major institutions. He added that the improvement in international rankings and the increase in economic revenues of affiliated units provide concrete evidence of effective management of environmental and developmental portfolios, affirming that the sector’s ambitions for the coming year focus on expanding green transformation and innovation projects to support the national economy.
