Mr. Baddari explained that these graduates will constitute the vanguard of the nationwide expansion of English-medium education, highlighting the broad opportunities offered by English as the language of science, technology, academic mobility, and access to global knowledge, as well as its role in internationalizing Algerian universities and enhancing their visibility and influence at both the regional and international levels.

The Minister further stated that the New and Victorious Algeria, envisioned by the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, is moving toward a development model built upon a modern university system that prepares Algerian students to be open to the world, aligned with scientific and technological advances, and capable of innovation, creativity, and competitiveness within the international academic community.

In his closing remarks, Mr. Baddari stressed that these graduating cohorts represent the first nucleus of a fourth-generation university—one that responds to the needs of Algerian society, keeps pace with global transformations, aligns with the country’s strategic priorities, and contributes to the implementation of public policies and the advancement of national development.
