Summary

This regional overview report, the third in a series, evaluates the state of education programs in Arab universities in 13 countries (Algeria; Bahrain; Egypt; Jordan; Lebanon; Morocco; Oman; Palestine; Qatar; Saudi Arabia; Sudan; Syria; Yemen). It is based on the outcomes of an elaborately structured fifteen month cycle of internal and external reviews of academic programs. The report proposes a strategic reform agenda comprising several recommendations, including the adoption of "a proactive strategic approach to curriculum design based on intended learning outcomes, allowing greater academic freedom in curricula, and reducing admission controls among others."--Publisher description.
