Algeria, October 8, 2023 – The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Kamel Baddari, has ushered in a new era of innovation and digitization within the higher education sector, transforming the landscape of university admissions. This monumental shift was unveiled during his address at a media symposium focused on evaluating employment processes across various sectors.
Under Baddari’s visionary leadership, the higher education sector has witnessed the establishment of more than 10,000 mini-economic institutions, a collaborative effort involving coordination with the esteemed Ministry of Economy and emerging institutions. This strategic initiative aims to bridge the gap between academia and the job market, fostering economic growth and development in the process.
One of the most striking achievements highlighted by Minister Baddari is the graduation of an astounding 192,000 students with master’s degrees in the past university year. This significant milestone underscores the commitment of the government to nurturing highly qualified professionals who will drive innovation and progress in various industries.
However, perhaps the most remarkable transformation has been the digitization of pedagogical and administrative processes in the realm of university admissions. During the latest university admission cycle, a staggering 2.3 million processes were seamlessly digitized, revolutionizing the way students enter higher education institutions.
The digitization of these processes represents a major leap forward in ensuring efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in higher education. Prospective students can now experience a smoother application and enrollment journey, while academic institutions benefit from streamlined administrative processes that free up valuable resources for academic excellence.
Minister Kamel Baddari’s commitment to embracing technology and modernizing higher education is setting the stage for a brighter future for Algerian students and the nation as a whole. As we look ahead, it’s evident that these remarkable initiatives will continue to shape the landscape of higher education in Algeria, fostering a generation of graduates poised to make a significant impact in a rapidly evolving global economy.
