He discussed the importance of university students being aware of their rights and responsibilities in creating a healthy educational environment based on respect and mutual understanding. He highlighted students’ rights to quality and equal education without discrimination, the right to a safe learning environment that encourages expression and participation in university activities, and the right to receive psychological and social support.

Dr. Ali emphasized students’ responsibilities, including adherence to institutional regulations and laws, respecting professors, peers, and staff, attending classes regularly, actively participating in lessons and activities, and maintaining both public and private property within the university campus to contribute to a positive educational environment.

The lecturer recommended raising awareness of students’ rights and responsibilities through workshops and ongoing awareness programs. He also emphasized strengthening dialogue between students and administration to build a relationship based on trust and transparency, as well as encouraging students to participate in developing regulations that protect everyone’s rights and ensure compliance with responsibilities.
