Al-Baath University Hosts Training on Administrative Efficiency
The Faculty of Economics at Al-Baath University in Homs has organized a specialized training course for employees working within educational institutions. The initiative aims to provide staff with the tools to manage workplace priorities effectively, improve functional performance, and minimize administrative errors.
This training program is part of an ongoing effort by Syrian service institutions, particularly within the education sector, to refine the work environment. The goal is to ensure that services remain efficient and consistent, especially during high-pressure periods such as student registration seasons and examination periods.
Dr. Mohammad Khaled Al-Jassem, Dean of the Faculty of Economics at Al-Baath University, emphasized that effective operational organization begins with the ability to distinguish between strategic tasks that require long-term planning and daily or urgent tasks that demand immediate responses. He noted that successful management of administrative processes, such as student enrollment and the coordination of exams, relies on proactive planning, the equitable distribution of responsibilities among staff, and the anticipation of service demand. Such strategies, he explained, are essential to maintaining streamlined services and preventing the accumulation of missed deadlines.
Dr. Al-Jassem highlighted that the training course focuses on equipping employees with the skills necessary to develop precise schedules and prioritize tasks based on their urgency and importance. Beyond increasing productivity, he noted that such organization contributes to the psychological well-being and job satisfaction of staff. By clarifying roles and reducing administrative chaos, the faculty aims to foster a positive work environment that directly improves the quality of service provided to students and visitors.
Participants in the training also shared their insights on the value of these sessions. Issa Ibrahim, a staff member who attended the course, noted that time is a fundamental resource in any institution. He emphasized that learning how to invest time effectively—by categorizing tasks according to their priority—is a practical step toward achieving better outcomes. This training reflects a broader commitment to updating administrative practices within Syrian educational institutions, aligning them with modern standards of administrative efficiency and enhancing the overall quality of output within the public service sector.
