During the meeting, Dr. Muhammad al-Qudsi, the university president, presented a comprehensive report detailing the institution’s needs and the challenges it currently faces. The report highlighted a substantial increase in student enrollment across all faculties, which has exceeded the university’s capacity.

Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak commended Al-Jawf University for its accomplishments despite its recent establishment and challenging conditions. He recognized the university as a vital academic hub for the people of Marib and neighboring provinces, serving as a refuge for many displaced individuals due to the Houthi militia conflict. The Prime Minister expressed the government’s readiness to support the university’s modernization and development plans, including the introduction of innovative academic programs. This support aims to ensure that the university keeps pace with rapid academic advancements across various fields, enhancing its value in national higher education.
Dr. bin Mubarak emphasized the importance of Al-Jawf University and other Yemeni universities extending their roles beyond education and knowledge dissemination. He encouraged them to contribute to the battle for awareness, promote values of coexistence, and oppose sectarian and tribal agendas within society. He underscored the need for these institutions to play an active role in restoring the state and ending the Houthi coup.
This meeting marks a critical step in addressing the challenges faced by Al-Jawf University, ensuring its growth and development in the coming years.
