Minister of Higher Education to Serve as Acting Minister of Culture 07.07.2026

Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, the Egyptian Prime Minister, has issued an official decree assigning Dr. Abdel Aziz Qanouswa, the current Minister of Higher Education, to serve as the Acting Minister of Culture. This significant administrative decision follows the resignation of Dr. Jehan Zaki from her position at the Ministry of Culture. Dr. Qanouswa will assume all duties and responsibilities of the ministry during the current transitional period until a new minister is officially appointed to the position permanently. This government measure aims to ensure the continuity of operations within cultural institutions and the regular conduct of their affairs during this transition. This assignment represents a temporary administrative shift in the structure of Egyptian ministries, as Dr. Qanouswa will combine his original duties in Higher Education with his newly assigned tasks in the culture sector to ensure the stability of government performance.
