Grand Mufti: Micro-Qualifications Key to Flexible Education and Bridging the Global Skills Gap
4/22/2026

Dr. Nazir Muhammad Ayyad, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, stressed that micro-qualifications are among the most prominent modern tools contributing to building a flexible education system that effectively links learning outcomes with labor market needs. The Grand Mufti explained that the world is witnessing rapid transformations that necessitate a re-evaluation of traditional learning methods and a shift towards more flexible and efficient models. These models aim to acquire specific skills in a short time, such as programming and data analysis, with the acquisition of accredited certificates that validate these competencies. This contributes to building an educational system capable of responding to the evolving demands of the labor market. He added that the conference comes within the context of keeping pace with these transformations, focusing on the role of micro-qualifications in strengthening the national qualifications framework. This supports the competitiveness of human capital, enhances lifelong learning pathways, and contributes to aligning academic qualifications with the requirements of the practical realities of the workplace.
