200,000 graduates take to the streets

More than 200,000 applied studies diploma holders “Bac+3” will protest at public service department on Monday to express anger over the ministry for not keeping its promises following a meeting held on March 23rd.

President of applied studies diploma holders’ association in the province of Jijel (east of Algeria) Khaled Kalil said the graduates want the government to implement a decision for their diploma equivalence to LMD degree.

“The sit-in was decided as the ministry made its promise, 15 days ago. In the meeting, the ministry asked the degree holders to freeze their protests in return for a governmental decision in record time,” he told Echorouk.
