| Abstract | ||
| This research aims to develop a comprehensive strategy for enhancing the capabilities of faculty members in Egyptian universities, as a key driver for shaping and guiding higher education policies toward establishing sustainable knowledge and innovation systems that align with national development priorities and global transformations in higher education. The research adopted the descriptive analytical method and utilized open-ended interviews with twenty (20) faculty members, including professors and associate professors from faculties of education in various Egyptian universities, to assess the current situation, identify gaps, challenges, and available opportunities. The researchers conducted an internal and external environment analysis (SWOT) using the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrices to outline the current status. The results indicated the presence of several strengths, such as intrinsic motivation and a desire for continuous learning. However, weaknesses were also identified, including inadequate technological infrastructure and a low level of training related to innovation. Additionally, several external opportunities were recognized, alongside threats related to funding challenges and institutional bureaucracy. Based on the analysis results, a strategic framework was proposed that includes a vision, mission, core values, and strategic goals—each assigned a specific priority and accompanied by multiple implementation initiatives. These initiatives are designed to align with the nature of the Egyptian university context and aim to achieve a qualitative shift in faculty performance in both knowledge and innovation domains. The study concludes with practical recommendations and suggestions for future research to further develop and deepen this vital area. | ||
