In its ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of higher education and align academic programs with labor market needs, the College of Dual Studies at Palestine Polytechnic University held its first academic conference titled “The Reality, Challenges, and Future Prospects of Dual Studies.” The event gathered ministers, academic experts, private sector representatives, and supporting institutions, alongside university faculty members and students.

The conference opened with a keynote speech by the Chairman of the University Board of Trustees, H.E. Ahmad Saeed Al-Tamimi, who praised the university’s pioneering role in developing dual education and highlighted its importance in equipping students with essential practical skills.
