Executive guide to strategic planning for higher education institutions in the Arab world

This book provides relevant scientific references from various literatures and systematic implementation procedures. The intention is to benefit the reader, whom we advise to thoroughly read the literature section of this guide to establish a solid scientific foundation. Then, the reader can follow the strategic planning implementation procedures according to the nature and circumstances of their institution. We believe that educational institutions vary and differ from one another, and that the best approach is the one most suitable for a particular institution. It should also be noted that the models presented in this guide may be the authors' own creations, offered as a guide, or they may be models prepared by the Egyptian National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education. In the latter case, the authors have indicated the source of the Authority's guide. Furthermore, the examples used to support the guide have been designed to be applicable to both public and private higher education institutions. This reflects the authors' understanding of the current situation, where private education has become strongly integrated with public education and represents a fundamental pillar of higher education in our Arab society.
