Minya news roundup: Second-round exam schedule, police reshuffle, and agricultural land violations

Minya's Education Directorate has released the schedule for the second round of high school final examinations for the 2025/2026 academic year, covering both the new and old systems. This announcement provides clarity for students preparing for make-up exams.

In a separate development, the Minya Security Directorate has undergone a significant reshuffle of leadership within its Criminal Investigation Department. The internal movement affects officers across 13 police districts, from El Adwa in the north to Deir Mawas in the south. This move follows a broader national directive from the Ministry of Interior to place experienced personnel and younger talent in leadership roles.

Governor of Minya, Major General Emad Kedwany, conducted a field tour in the Deir Mawas district. During his inspection, he identified violations on agricultural land. The site was being used for stockpiling quarrying and building materials, including sand and gravel, alongside heavy equipment like a loader. This activity constitutes a clear breach of the law and an encroachment on fertile agricultural land.

Additionally, University of Minya President Dr. Essam Farhat issued two decisions appointing new supervisory roles. Professor Dr. Hossam Shawky, Vice President for Postgraduate Studies and Research, will now oversee the Faculty of Law. Professor Dr. El-Shafei has been appointed Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.
