On Thursday 9 October 2025, during a plenary session dedicated to answering oral questions, in the presence of the President of the Assembly and the Minister of Relations with Parliament, Mr. Kamel Baddari emphasised “his sector’ commitment to implementing the reforms initiated by the President of the Republic,” while praising the successes of the Algerian university on both national and international levels. 

In this context, he revealed the « latest results of the (T.H.E) international ranking, one of the most prominent in the world, in which Algerian secured the first position in the Maghreb region and the second in Africa, thanks to twenty-eight university institutions. In 2017, only one Algerian university was ranked in this classification. The universities of Sidi Bel Abbes and El Oued shared the first place nationally in the 1200-1500 category of higher education institutions globally.”

He also addressed « the five higher schools at the Sidi Abdellah University Hub, as well as the newly introduced subjects, such as open-source software, reverse engineering, artificial intelligence, and other achievements”. According to him, these will make higher education a “locomotive for local development and the national economy.”

Regarding the improvement of educational conditions for medical students and resident doctors, the minister asserted that “medical sciences students have received internship funding for the first time, according to the new system in place”, reminding that 5,095 financial positions have been created, as part of the national competition for resident doctors, which will be held at the end of October. This represents an increase of over 34 % compared to the positions allocated during the 2022 academic year.

In terms of improving university services, the minister presented “all the reforms implemented in this area over the past two years, including digitisation, expense rationalisation, improvement of accommodations, food and transport.”
