HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zerih
Higher education institutions in the Nador province opened their doors to welcome the 2026-2027 academic year amidst exceptional organizational and pedagogical dynamism, heralding the actual launch of four new faculties established on the ruins of the former multidisciplinary faculty. This restructuring aims to define a different academic landscape that breaks away from previous centralization, allowing for deeper specialization through the distribution of programs across the Faculty of Law and Political Science, the Faculty of Economics and Management, the Faculty of Applied Sciences, and the Faculty of Languages, Literature, and Arts.
The facilities of these nascent institutions witnessed a massive turnout from the early hours of registration and re-registration operations, as the administration mobilized its human and logistical resources to absorb the pressure and guide new and returning students in conditions described as organized. This lively pace reflects a genuine desire to win the bet of beginnings and overcome the logistical constraints that have long plagued the previously sole faculty in accommodating the growing number of students.
The acting deans of the four faculties unanimously confirmed that the current academic year is proceeding in an atmosphere that is more natural and smooth than initially expected. In this context, Dr. Ahmed Kharta (Faculty of Law and Political Science) and Dr. Momen Chikar (Faculty of Economics and Management) highlighted that the new organization has brought remarkable clarity to pedagogical affairs management. For their part, Dr. Mohamed Abu Salama (Faculty of Applied Sciences) and Dr. Abu Abdallah Al-Idrissi (Faculty of Languages, Literature, and Arts) stressed the regularity of administrative operations and the concerted efforts to provide the best supervisory environment for students.
The current institutional challenge goes beyond mere administrative division or a change in institutional banners; it encompasses a qualitative leap in sector governance and the improvement of academic offerings. University stakeholders in Nador are betting that this new specialized identity will grant each faculty autonomy in decision-making and a clear vision for scientific research, serving its socio-economic environment and responding to the evolving demands of the labor market.
The curtain is drawn on the phase of improvisation and shared management as the Nador province embarks on an unprecedented academic adventure that places its four faculties at the test of achievement and excellence. The success of the 2026-2027 academic year remains contingent on the extent to which these young institutions can translate this administrative separation into tangible quality in academic attainment and the services provided to the region's students.
