- JEDDAH: Prince Naif, second deputy premier and minister of interior, has announced that Naif Arab University for Security Sciences will soon establish special sections for women, particularly as a number of them have expressed an interest in studying there.
Prince Naif was talking at the 39th session of the university’s supreme council, which he chaired in Jeddah on Wednesday.
“The university intends to accept more part-time students, especially after the new headquarters are completed. It will also set up sections for women. Society needs more women in specializations in which they excel,” he said.
Prince Naif hoped that more students from Arab countries would enroll and said the university still had a long way to go.
The council approved the university’s budget for 2011 and agreed to create diploma programs in strategic sciences, nuclear security, criminal psychology and forensics.
