S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazil and Algeria are discussing the establishment of agreements and memorandums of understanding between educational and research institutions in both countries and are considering signing agreements between their ministries of education as well as reciprocal visits by university presidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The topics were discussed this week during a visit by Algeria\u2019s ambassador to Bras\u00edlia, Abdelaziz Benali Cherif, to Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Education, where he was received by L\u00facia Pellanda, general coordinator of the Department of Higher Education, along with other ministry officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Algerian ambassador\u2019s visit shows that we are on the right path to strengthening academic cooperation between our countries. The proposal to forge closer ties between Brazilian and Algerian universities aligns with the Brazilian education ministry\u2019s efforts to expand partnerships for the internationalization of higher education, promoting exchanges that value diversity, scientific knowledge, and innovation as instruments of social transformation,\u201d said Virg\u00edlio Almeida, the ministry\u2019s general coordinator for international affairs in higher education, according to a ministry statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Algeria participates in the Student Exchange Program, through which Brazil offers scholarships to foreign students. According to the ministry, Algeria was the first Arab country to join the program.
