Progress comes from sharing good practice, from debate and the dissemination of ideas. The Alexandria Trust will seek strong projects which support educational excellence at Arab educational institutions through resources, information-sharing, and the encouragement of reform.

Our first project is a new Arab publication dedicated to news and analysis on higher education called Al-Fanar Media. Launched online in March of 2013, Al-Fanar Media provides a new platform for faculty, senior leadership and students across Arab universities and beyond to learn about each others’ challenges, opportunities, and best practices. It provides a forum for debate and exchange of experience, and serves as a balanced and accurate source of information and analysis.

The Alexandria Trust has founded Al-Fanar Media “الفنار للإعلام” (The Lighthouse), dedicated to covering higher education in the Arab region. Visit Al Fanar’s website at www.al-fanarmedia.org
