The Egyptian Cabinet approved a draft Presidential decision regarding the Canadian Universities Foundation in Egypt to host a branch of Ryerson University in Egypt. Egypt’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Khalid Abdel Ghafar back in 2019 received a delegate of the Canadian University ‘Ryerson’, to discuss establishing a branch within Egypt. According to Ghafar, establishing and organizing branches of foreign universities in Egypt also offers several benefits to the foreign universities. The Dean of Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at University of Ryerson said that the university’s engineering programs ranks among the top 250 programs worldwide. In February 2019, Egypt’s government announced the construction of eight international universities in the New Administrative Capital by 2020 during a visit to the University of Canada in Egypt.
