In May, Algeria inaugurated six digital platforms to enhance the skills of students and teachers, as well as digitize university services. In the same vein, 11 platforms have just been launched.

Last Saturday, Algeria inaugurated eleven new digital platforms dedicated to teaching, research, and university services. This brings the number of digital platforms dedicated to the higher education sector to 46. 

According to Minister of Higher Education Kamel Baddari who inaugurated the eleven platforms, the platforms will be developed based on identified needs. In early May, he launched six platforms. One platform is an electronic one-stop-shop, another for documentation, while others are created to authenticate graduates’ documents, public medical research, and manage university incubators. 

They are launched in line with the main digital plan for the scientific research sector under the 42+4 electronic platforms program. This program involves the launch of 42 platforms for teaching and research, and 4 others for the management of university services such as transport, accommodation, and catering. 

For Minister Kamel Baddari, the sectoral plan aimed at addressing 12 challenges has seven strategic programs, which are 80% completed. The program runs from November 2022 to December 2024.
