Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) has officially joined the Sakura Network, an initiative by the Japan Foundation aimed at promoting Japanese language and culture among universities worldwide. As part of this achievement, one student was selected for a fully funded 40-day scholarship to Japan after excelling in two exam phases. The program aims to enhance the student’s Japanese language skills and deepen their understanding of Japanese culture. Prof. Amr Adly, E-JUST President, welcomed Ms. Ayumi Hashimoto, President of the Japan Foundation, during her visit to the university. A special ceremony was held to award the JLPT certificates to the December group, in the presence of Prof. Mamdouh Masnour, Director of the Liberal Arts and Culture center, Dr. Amal Refaat, Japanese Language and Culture Coordinator, as well as the Japanese language instructors at E-JUST. The university’s success rate in the JLPT exam has risen to 43%, reflecting the remarkable development of the Japanese language program and E-JUST’s ongoing commitment to cultural and academic exchange.
