Faculty of Education, Humanities, and Applied Sciences—Khawlan
In line with the Yemeni government’s commitment to expanding access to higher education, Sana’a University has taken the initiative to establish branch faculties in several governorates. This expansion is driven by the growing number of students seeking higher education, with the aim of relieving the annual strain on the university’s faculties in Sana’a and providing higher education opportunities to a wider range of Yemeni citizens. In accordance with this vision, the Faculty of Education, Arts, and Sciences—Khawlan was established, incorporating three distinct faculties (Education, Arts, and Sciences) to serve as the nucleus of a multidisciplinary university and complement Sana’a University by offering education at the same academic level in accordance with quality specifications and international education standards.
Establishment:
The Faculty of Education, Arts, and Sciences—Khawlan was founded in the academic year 1997–1998 as one of the branch faculties affiliated with Sana’a University.
