President Abdel Fattah El Sisi issued a decree Monday setting up a national academy for youth rehabilitation.

The academy aims at honing the skills of young people to achieve hoped-for development in all state sectors.

The academy establishment is one of the fruits of the first youths conference that was held in Sharm el Sheikh in November of 2016.

The academy will be under the supervision of the president.

The academy will have a board of trustees consisting of the prime minister in addition to representatives of the presidency, the Supreme Council of Universities and the ministries of higher education, planning and finance.

It will be based in the Sixth of October City.
