On 9 November 2025, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, conducted a working and inspection visit to the “Larbi Tebessi” University in Tebessa. He was accompanied by the governor of the province, local authorities, and civil society representatives.
Mr. Kamel Baddari began his visit by inspecting the annexes of the Faculty of Medicine and the Higher School of Teachers at the “Martyr Drid Abdelmadjid” Hub, where he reviewed the conditions for student training, and some of their innovative projects. He engaged with the students and encouraged them to implement their projects in the field and to take advantage of the support from various funding bodies, to contribute effectively to accelerating local and national development and job creation. The medical annex at the “Boulhaf Dir” university hub was one of the key points of the visit, during which, the minister inspected the educational infrastructure and facilities.
Next, he visited the Faculty of Economic, Business and Management Sciences, where he inspected the digitised facilities and modern equipment at the faculty, and oversaw the reopening of the auditorium following its renovation.
During his meeting with the university community, Mr. Kamel Baddari gave a speech during which he highlighted that “given the university’s developments in recent years, it has become a symbol of turning ideas and research projects into economic products that contribute to local and national development, thereby becoming a locomotive for development.” He added that “the university now has a clear vision which enables student projects to be manufactured and marketed products, rather than remaining confined to papers and drawers.”
For his part, the rector of Tebessa University, Prof. Abdelkrim Gouasmia, revealed that the university has obtained 54 patents, and registered 13 micro-enterprises, and five 5 start-ups. This highlights the excellence of its students in this field, and reflects the quality of their education.
He concluded the visit by honouring the professor-researcher who was ranked among the top 2 % best researchers in his field, and by recognising two students with an innovative project.
