The State will establish the following institutions to achieve its higher education goals:

i) Technical Insitutes,

ii) Civil Service (Employment) Institutes,

iii) Universities,

iv) Research and Development Centres,

v) Military Institutes/Academies,

These institutes’ function is to prepare a technical workforce specialised in modern techniques such as repairing electronic devices e.g. telecommunication devices and computers, as well as other vocations that require more in-depth knowledge and science than offered by simple vocations. The student who wishes to join these institutes should complete the third school stage (i.e. 36 school terms) whether or not he passed the general exam for the school stages. Experts determine the schooling terms and the necessary period for each vocation in these institutes, just as they determine the subjects for which the student gains exemption if he completed the industrial option in the third school stage. At the end of the study period, the student attains the “First Degree” certificate in the option he studied.

Among these institutes are agricultural institutes subordinate to the State’s Department of Agriculture in coordination with the Education Department of the state. They specialise in agricultural subjects that do not need university study. These insititutes serve to prepare a qualified workforce to practically undertake agriculture e.g. techniques of irrigation and organising tree and crop agriculture, followed by tending via fertilisers, pruning, vaccination (tat’eem) etc. Also animal rearing such as livestock and birds, agro-processing and meat-processing etc. Experts determine the subjects for which the student gains exemption if he completed the agricultural option in the third school stage.
