South Valley University hosted an awareness session for university students from the Farshout and Nag Hammadi centers as part of the national literacy eradication project. This was part of the university’s annual summer awareness sessions held in July. The event was under the esteemed patronage of Dr. Ahmed Akkawi, the university president, and Dr. Mohamed Saeed, the university vice president for community service and environmental development.
The meeting was attended by university coordinators, officials from adult education in Qena, and a group of university students. The sessions focused on educating students about the importance of participation, with the university being a major partner in such initiatives. Since 2015, the university has successfully trained approximately 96,000 successful learners, with about 36,000 students participating in these efforts. This underscores the university’s role in serving the community and environmental development as part of its core mission.
The discussions covered the stages of participation in the project, incentives available to students, and methods of communication with the administrations of Farshout and Nag Hammadi regarding literacy eradication. At the end of each session, an open dialogue was held between students, university participants, and adult education officials, addressing all queries and proposing solutions to the issues raised during the meetings.
Participants included Yasser El Samahody, General Manager of the Adult Education Branch in Qena, and Mohamed El Kamel, General Coordinator of the University’s literacy eradication efforts, alongside directors of literacy departments in Farshout and Nag Hammadi, and coordinators from the faculties of Commerce and Arts.
