Clashes in Algeria between student protesters and police have left dozens of injured on both sides, Algeria's Enahar Online reported Wednesday.
Thousands of students took to the streets on Tuesday over poor conditions in higher education and the depreciation of diplomas.
They also called for the resignation of Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Rachid Harraoubia.
The students tried to march on the presidential palace, but were kept well away while President Abdelaziz Bouteflika hosted an African Union meeting on Libya.
Algeria, one of the biggest suppliers of natural gas to the European Union, has seen a wave of strikes and protests over the past few months.
