The Director

The Director is directly responsible for the conception and execution of the academic and cultural curricula, as he has been elected to be, and also delivers those national diplomas the establishment has been authorised to deliver by the Ministry of Culture and Communication as well as the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

He has authority over the ensemble of the personnel of the school and proposes, to the President of the Board of Directors, the recruitment and nomination of people to posts available within the establishment.
