Rector’s Statement

Greeting to all members of Akli Mohand Oulhadj University of Bouira including the teaching staff, employees, students, and website visitors from outside the University. Since we are on the threshold of the 61^st anniversary of the independence of our dear country, we extend a warm welcome to all of you from this scientific edifice.

Undoubtedly, the major changes that came in recent decisions of Higher Education and Scientific Research Ministry will mark a significant leap in the higher education sector of our country, and we have to overcome the numerous challenges through the embodiment of these decisions in reality.

Our strategic vision is part of the contemplative minister policy that aims to encourage the creative thinking and the entrepreneurship culture of students after the recent ministerial decree n°1275. This latter became a national reference of how to prepare a project memorandum to obtain a university degree that can become a startup. The aim of this decree is to create a wealth producer, a job opportunity and a creative generation through business management and innovation. This is mainly done to find a digital and technological solution to all our socio-economic institutions and startups which will become a way to follow by students since the beginning of their university life: “Today’s students; tomorrow’s entrepreneurs”. I address all the students of all branches and faculties by saying: “Our grandparents made the eternal revolution, some of them are martyrs and the others are heroic soldiers in order to ensure our independence, freedom and peace. This demands your participation in the creation of wealth in order to win the quality and production battle to keep pace with all modern scientific and technological advances capable of achieving the prosperity to which all Algerians aspire.

Concerning the sector digitization that is drawn by the ministry, the University of Bouira assumes the responsibility to realize the digitization plan through a roadmap.  I also invite all the university members to engage in it, adopt the Distance Learning and Zero Paper Policy in transactions and discussions and the appropriate use of the digital platform “progress” in its pedagogical and research side in addition to the human resources management in order to enable us to reduce taxes, improve workflow and information by transmitting them at the exact time.

We strive to facilitate the training process of university professors in the English language through various measures taken at the Center of Intensive Language Teaching (CEIL) and also through the digital platform EDX to ensure their distance learning. English is the standard for the quality of research outputs and most leading scientific journals. 80% of all indexed scientific journals in the global Scopus system are published in English. In addition, teachers are being prepared to teach in this language starting from the academic year 2023/2024.

We are committed to build strong relationships with economic and social institutions, whether in student training in the external environment or in scientific research and its development through partnerships between the university and these institutions. The university’s role is to provide scientific solutions to social, economic, and technological problems posed by these institutions and to address them. We also strive to establish agreements and twinning contracts with national and international universities for the exchange of experiences, organizing conferences of common interest, achieving cooperation, and creating mutual mobility for researchers and students.

Our university continuously aspires to achieve further progress and excellence to contribute in enhancing the quality of education as well as developing scientific research, and realizing the mission of scientific higher education. This can only be achieved through the concerted efforts of all university family members to make it a scientific and civilized institution, a beacon of knowledge in various fields, a powerful driver of development, and the local and national economy. Therefore, I address my fellow professors who bear the noblest mission and most sacred task, urging them to keep unity, sincerity, and harmony.

We welcome you all to the official website of our university, where we are committed to addressing all concerns and feedback.
