In a new achievement added to its distinguished record, the Faculty of Economics and Political Science – Cairo University has won first place in the Government Excellence Award at the level of Cairo University, in strong competition among the university’s faculties.

The faculties underwent an intensive training program organized by the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development on the award’s mechanisms and criteria, during which each faculty identified two main tasks to work on. In addition, each faculty appointed an “Excellence Ambassador” to manage the excellence file and prepare the necessary documentation, alongside a peer evaluator assigned to assess another faculty. At FEPS, Dr. Mayada Aref, Assistant Professor of Social Computing, served as the Excellence Ambassador.

In this context, Prof. Hanan Mohamed Ali – Acting Dean of the Faculty – emphasized that winning first place is the result of continuous effort from all members of the faculty, including staff, students, and administrators. She stressed that this achievement reflects the spirit of teamwork and dedication, noting that the faculty continues year after year to stand as a model of academic and administrative excellence, strengthening its position nationally and regionally.

Following the initial evaluation stage, five faculties were shortlisted for the final round. FEPS was announced among the top three faculties at Cairo University, then crowned first place, making it eligible to compete for the award at the national level, where the top five faculties from Cairo University will advance to the national competition.

This accomplishment reflects the faculty’s commitment to institutional excellence, quality standards, and governance, reaffirming its pioneering role as a leading academic think tank contributing effectively to development and decision-making at both the national and regional levels.
