خبرة وطنية تقود الابتكار والتخصصات العصرية

The issuance of the royal approval to appoint Dr. Badr bin Shujaa Al-Harbi as the President of the University of Hail opens a new chapter in the journey of higher education in the northern region of the Kingdom.

Al-Harbi comes from a distinguished experience at the National Institute for Professional Educational Development, where he led programs related to training and continuous qualification, and innovated developmental pathways that align with the needs of the labor market. His administrative and organizational experience at the institute has shaped a leadership personality that knows how to connect planning with reality and transform initiatives into tangible results.

The University of Hail faces accelerating challenges and opportunities. The region, with its agricultural and economic depth, requires new specializations in agriculture and agricultural economics, and needs partnerships with the private sector, as well as a restructuring of the university council to enhance governance and effectiveness. The new leadership is capable of driving the university towards modern specializations and launching academic and professional programs that support the local economy and build qualified young competencies.

The appointment of Dr. Badr Al-Harbi intersects with a broader national vision, as the University of Hail is not just an educational institution, but a lever for regional development. His previous experience at the Institute of Public Administration and then at the National Institute for Professional Educational Development provides him with practical tools to bridge the gap between educational outputs and market needs.

Under his leadership, the University of Hail is poised to become a center for creativity and innovation, a laboratory for new educational experiences, and a direct contributor to shaping the region's economy and linking it to national development pathways.
