Fez, February 6, 2013
The ?University Al Karaouin of Fez ?decided to award an honorary doctorate to Sheikhah Mozah Al-Missned, wife of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa.
Sources acquainted with the subject told Morocco World News on Wednesday that Sheikha Mozah will arrive in Fez on 28 February to receive an honorary doctorate at a ceremony that will be attended by the Minister of Higher Education and Training Lahcen Daoudi, and the President of the university, Mohammed Eroughi.
According to the same sources the granting of an honorary doctorate of Sheikha Mozah falls under Ministry Lahcen Daoudi?s strategy to turn Moroccan universities and its spaces of scientific research into a beacon of science and knowledge.
Al Karaouin University is older than Egypt?s Azhar University (970) and its European counterparts: the University of Oxford, which is regarded as the oldest university in the English-speaking world (roughly founded in 1096), and University of Bologna (founded approximately in 1088). The historic university of Fez is actually recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest degree-granting university in the world. Moreover, UNESCO considers Al-Karaouine to have been a university since its founding.
