The State will establish the following institutions to achieve its higher education goals:

i) Technical Insitutes,

ii) Civil Service (Employment) Institutes,

iii) Universities,

iv) Research and Development Centres,

v) Military Institutes/Academies,

These institutes’ function is to prepare a technical workforce specialised in modern techniques such as repairing electronic devices e.g. telecommunication devices and computers, as well as other vocations that require more in-depth knowledge and science than offered by simple vocations. The student who wishes to join these institutes should complete the third school stage (i.e. 36 school terms) whether or not he passed the general exam for the school stages. Experts determine the schooling terms and the necessary period for each vocation in these institutes, just as they determine the subjects for which the student gains exemption if he completed the industrial option in the third school stage. At the end of the study period, the student attains the “First Degree” certificate in the option he studied.

Among these institutes are agricultural institutes subordinate to the State’s Department of Agriculture in coordination with the Education Department of the state. They specialise in agricultural subjects that do not need university study. These insititutes serve to prepare a qualified workforce to practically undertake agriculture e.g. techniques of irrigation and organising tree and crop agriculture, followed by tending via fertilisers, pruning, vaccination (tat’eem) etc. Also animal rearing such as livestock and birds, agro-processing and meat-processing etc. Experts determine the subjects for which the student gains exemption if he completed the agricultural option in the third school stage.

These institutes’ function to prepare a workforce able to undertake some jobs that do not require the student to join university. To enrol into such institutes the applicant must have at least passed the general exam for the school stages. Experts determine the prerequisites for the student to join each type of these institutes, just as they determine the subjects for each option and the mandatory time period required to prepare the student in each institute. The student attains, upon completing his study, a “First Degree” certificate in the option he studied.

Some of these institutes produce nurses and medical assistant personnel like X-ray technicians, laboratory technicians and dental technicians. There are also institutes for simple financial and administrative vocations, and whatever is required to run small companiies and their related accounts without the need to join the university e.g. bookkeeping, cashbooks and Zakat accounts.

Some of these institutes produce teachers able to work in the various school stages as well as preparing special courses for university graduates wishing to work in the education fields.

Institutes are spread and diversified throughout the State’s wilayahs according to the wilayahs needs. Coastal wilayahs, for instance, have institutes for marine vocations such as fishing, ship repair and running ports; whereas wilayahs known for agriculture have agricultural institutes, and so on.

The student who passes the “General Examination for the School Stages” is entitled to apply to enter the State’s universities. Universities accept successful students twice in a year. Acceptance into specific specialisations depend upon the following:

The student’s average marks in the “General Examination for the School Stages.” The student’s specialisation option in the third school stage, whether culture, science or commerce.

The student’s marks in the subjects in the general exam for the third school stage related to the option he intends to specialise in. The student of the Faculty of Fiqh and Shari’ah Sciences, for instance, must have attained high marks in the subjects of Islamic culture and Arabic language. The student opting for engineering must excel in maths and physics topics, whereas the medical sciences student must excel in life sciences (Biology) and chemistry, and so on. Experts determine the relevant subjects for each university specialisation and the average marks required for each one.

The university includes various faculties such as:

- Faculty of Islamic Culture and its sciences: Tafseer, Fiqh, Ijtihad, judiciary, Shariah sciences.

- Faculty of Arabic Language and its sciences.

- Faculty of Engineering Sciences: Civil, mechanical, electrical, electronic, telecommunication, aeronautical, computer engineering, etc.

- Faculty of Computer Science: Programming, information systems, program engineering, etc.

- Faculty of Sciences: Mathematics, chemistry, physics, computing, astronomy, geography, geology, etc.

- Faculty of Medical Sciences: Medicine, nursing, medical analysis, dentistry, pharmacy.

- Faculty of Agricultural Sciences: Crop agriculture, livestock, cattle and poultry rearing, food preservation, crop and livestock disease sciences.

- Faculty of Financial and Adminstrative Sciences: Accounting, economic science, commerce.

Faculties can be innovated or merged according to need.

These centres’ function is to produce precise and specialised research work in various cultural and scientific fields. In cultural fields, they participate in attaining deep thoughts whether in drawing long-term (strategic) plans, styles for carrying the da’wah via embassies and negotiations, or in Fiqh, Ijtihad, Language Sciences etc. In scientific fields, they work to innovate new means and styles in fields of implementation e.g. Industry, Nuclear Science, Space Science, etc that require depth and expertise in research.

Some of these centres are subordinate to universities, while others are independent of universities while subordinate to the Education Department. Scholars, university lecturers and some distinguished students—whose academic study displayed research, innovation, and development ability—work in these centres.

They function to produce military leaders, and to develop military means and styles that realise (the objective of) terrorising the enemies of Allah and the Muslims. These centres and academies are subordinate to the Amir of Jihad.
