In his speech at the conference dedicated to launching the guide for the central admission system, he emphasized the importance of this file to the Ministry, as it reflects the responsibility of managing and organizing the aspirations of new students preparing to enter the university environment and select specializations that align with their academic interests and competitive averages.
