A Study on the Digital Transformation of Higher Education in Egypt

Abstract

With the advancement of information technology, the digital transformation of higher education has become a global trend in educational reform. Egypt has propelled the modernization of its higher education system through digital means, focusing on enhancing teachers’ digital teaching capabilities, improving course quality, and establishing a policy environment that supports digital instruction. The driving forces behind Egypt’s transformation include meeting the demand for skilled talent due to economic reforms, participating in internationalization processes, and the impetus provided by public diplomacy. By introducing high-quality international resources, deepening scientific research collaboration, and applying digital technologies, Egypt has effectively alleviated issues of resource insufficiency and uneven development, thereby enhancing its capacity for higher education quality assurance. Egypt’s practice demonstrates that digitalization is a key pathway for developing countries to improve the quality of higher education, providing valuable insights for constructing sustainable models of higher education development.
