Campus and people with disabilities
At Oum El-Bouaghi University, we ensure that our campus is easily accessible to individuals with disabilities through physical adaptations, inclusive facilities and services, accessible communication, and fostering an inclusive campus culture.
At Oum El-Bouaghi University, we are committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all members of our community. As part of our dedication to ensuring equal opportunities for everyone, all buildings on our campus are equipped with special corridors and facilities designed specifically for people with disabilities.
These special corridors are built to be easily navigable and accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. Additionally, we have installed elevators designated for people with disabilities in taller buildings, including the administrative tower of the university. These elevators are user-friendly and convenient for people with mobility impairments; they enable them to access all floors of the building effortlessly.
Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond physical infrastructure. We continuously strive to raise awareness about the needs of people with disabilities and promote a culture of inclusivity on our campus. We work closely with the Support and Mediation Unit for Students with Special Needs to ensure that all members of our community can fully participate in academic and extracurricular activities.
At Oum El-Bouaghi University, we firmly believe that an inclusive campus benefits everyone, fostering a supportive and diverse community where all individuals can thrive and reach their full potential.

Answer:
The Algerian government ensures that transportation remains free and accessible for all university students and staff across the country. This is accomplished through the provision of complimentary bus services operating on all routes connecting the university campus with different neighborhoods of the city, facilitating daily travel for students, faculty, and staff. In addition, the government provides free or heavily subsidized university residences situated close to campus, offering convenient accommodation for members of the academic community.
