Saeidi also heads the Education Development Center for Al-Azhar International Students.
Saeidi said her appointment as an advisor to Al-Azhar grand sheikh was a big responsibility and an honor at the same time.
Since 2015, Saeidi has been working on the file of expatriate students with Al-Azhar, through the Development Center for Al-Azhar International Students
The center is greatly supported by Al-Azhar grand sheikh and its system has been comprehensively developed in terms of infrastructure, curricula, and teachers since its inauguration, she said.
