At the beginning of the ceremony, the Erbil Polytechnic University Rector welcomed the Higher Education and Scientific Research delegation, guests, and the Pedagogy Course Participants. He congratulated the Pedagogy course supervisors and attendees and wished them success.

In another part of his speech, his Excellency Prof. Dr. Edrees Muhamad Tahir Harki mentioned the university lecturers’ significant roles, which are the vertebrae of the University who have an essential challenging task in developing the future generation. Our universities always need new lecturers to continue the education process in the right way; for this reason, the pedagogy courses are necessary factors in creating qualified teachers to serve and develop the Kurdistan Region’s future generation. Once again, I congratulated the Pedagogy Course supervisors and the participants and wished them the best of luck.

Later, the Higher Education and Scientific Research Ministry Representative Asst. Prof. Dr. Zhala presented a speech in which she expressed her gratitude towards the University Rector for inviting them to the celebration and appreciated the fifth-course pedagogy supervisors. She talked about the influence of sustainable development of science through producing qualified academic and scientific staff at higher education institutions. She mentioned several valuable points which start by enhancing university lecturers as they are focal points between students and theoretical knowledge. For this reason, teachers always need to update themselves with scientific information to benefit the country’s generation. Thus, we should produce researcher lecturers, not only lecturers or researchers, because researcher lecturers are creators and knowledge seekers who never give up in front of difficulties.

It is worth mentioning that the fifth pedagogy started on 02/02/2022 and was completed on 31/07/2022, in which master and Ph.D. holders participated, and nine lecturers supervised them.

 

On Monday, the 10^th of October 2022, the Registration Directorate of the Erbil Polytechnic University Presidency managed a workshop about the electronic registration of students in the colleges and institutes. The University Rector, Prof. Dr. Edrees Muhamad Tahir Harki, the Recoor Assistant for Scientific Affairs, and several EPU Presidency Directors were present in this workshop.

The workshop was delivered by Ms. Shilan, an Erbil Technical Engineering College lecturer. She talked about the electronic registration database of students in colleges and institutes and how to add information and data.

It is worth mentioning that this database is made by the mentioned lecturer. The registration units of the colleges and institutes use up-to-date technology to register and renew the students’ information.

Within the strategic plan for internationalizing the Erbil Polytechnic University and after signing a memorandum of understanding agreement between our university and Belfield University for Applied Science, three third-grade students of the International Marketing and Language Department and the Accounting Techniques Department at the Erbil Technical Administrative College will start studying within the student exchange program. They will study for one semester at the named college, which will complete in January 2023.

It is supposed that this program will continue for subsequent years. It will pave the way for our University students to become familiar with the education system and European country’s culture and to get acquainted with the practical (Applied) Experience of that University.

It is worth mentioning that registration will start soon to apply for the next semester, beginning in March 2023.
