On 26 October 2025, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, conducted a working and inspection visit to “Mohamed El Bachir El Ibrahimi” University in Bordj Bou Arreridj.

Mr. Kamel Baddari began his visit by inspecting the annex of the newly established Higher School of Teachers, named after the “Mudjahid Professor Djamel Guennane”, which has a total of 820 students enrolled for the 2025/2026 academic year. They are distributed across three levels: primary, middle school and secondary. They specialise in the following: Arabic language, French language, English language, history and geography, mathematics, physics, natural sciences, and philosophy.  

The minister then reviewed the remarkable exhibition showcasing his student friends’ innovative projects in the fields of health, agriculture, and services:

• The university subsidiaries.
• Exceptional, successful start-up projects in the fields of agriculture, health, etc.
• Innovative projects that have received patents.
• Micro-enterprises of university graduates.
• A liaison office for the industrial enterprises with active partnership agreements with the university.
• A presentation of three (03) start-ups supervising university students, (higher education product).

The minister regarded the Mohamed El Bachir El Ibrahimi university as a model of success, “as its students were able, to establish 58 micro-enterprises and start-ups in a single year, as well as identifying 38 innovative projects with the potential to become institutions, and three subsidiaries operating locally.” In this context, he asserted that “the Algerian student is making a significant contribution to achieving the goal of 20,000 start-ups by 2029.”

On this occasion, the minister remotely activated the electronic dissection table for the University of Adrar, (TECHRIH_TECH), an Algerian project presenting the first dissection table for the benefit of medical science, with approximately 70% integration.
