all levels of education and development support. In line
with the recommendations of the Arab Human Development
Report, it provides a learning environment to promote
high academic quality in conjunction with
practice-oriented learning, utilising its international reputation and
industrial links. The latter greatly contribute
to the workshops and seminars in higher
education development, and the professor
training in didactics, it organises. It also
runs a kindergarten, a primary, preparatory and
secondary school as well as a technical
secondary school and a vocational training
centre based on the dual company- and school

emerge. The SEKEM University (Egypt) will offer

technological prototype innovation. SDF will
provide overall executive management as project
