Al-Ahram selected the best Canadian universities to cooperate with in establishing an Egyptian Canadian University, to be located in the Arab Republic of Egypt. This selection was made for many reasons, primarily, the distinguished status of Canadian universities and Canadian education by large, which places them in a foremost international level. Furthermore, Canadian universities are famous, more than others, for their focus on the applied and practical studies, as well as the theoretical foundations. This would act in accordance with Ahram Canadian University’s mission to qualify students to meet the challenging labor market requirements, and to play an important role in the society.
