Damascus, SANA – The People’s Assembly passed in its session on Monday a bill on establishing a scientific agency for supporting creative individuals named the Distinction and Creativity Agency.
Higher Education Minister Mohammad Amer al-Mardini said this Damascus-based Agency, which is financially and administratively independent, seeks to direct and unite the sides that find, sponsor, encourage, and care for talented, gifted, and creative individuals.
He said the Agency will scout for distinguished creative talents and provide them with support, as well as providing education for students who excel in basic education using special curricula and programs.
