The Chairman of the Committee indicated that the draft law also seeks to enhance cooperation between educational institutions and sports bodies, by involving the Ministry of Higher Education and the Supreme Council of Universities in determining the criteria for recognizing scientific and professional qualifications, ensuring their compatibility with academic standards, keeping pace with modern specializations in sports science, opening broader horizons for training and professional development, and enhancing the capabilities of practitioners in all sports specializations.
