“On September 30, 1962, Pope Kyrillos VI ordained Fr. Antonios as Bishop Shenouda, the first Bishop for Christian Education. He became the President and Dean of the Theological Seminary, and by late 1969 the enrollment of full-time students doubled and the enrollment of part-time students increased 10 times its original number. Under his presidency, women were admitted to the College and several were appointed lecturers. His Grace's efforts were recognized in 1969 when he was elected President of the Association of Middle East Theological Colleges.” http://st-takla.org/Pope-1.html#3
Christian Education is a broad term which covers all aspects of Coptic Education not only Theological Education. Therefore, it seams logical that all types of Coptic schools be headed and guided by HH direct. Of course, HH may appoint capable representatives to oversee operations and report directly to him.
May our Lord preserve him on his seat for many peaceful years, Amen.
