Abstract:
This study analyzes gender-based differences in digital readiness among higher education stakeholders in Algeria, using data from a large national survey across eight dimensions (e.g., infrastructure, skills, e-learning engagement, institutional support). Men report significantly higher perceived readiness in digital infrastructure, skills, and overall preparedness, while areas such as administrative support and e-library services show no meaningful gender gap. The findings reveal both enduring inequalities and areas of emerging parity, and the authors argue for targeted, gender-sensitive institutional strategies; they also contribute context-specific North African evidence to global debates on digital equity and policy for inclusive digital transformation in higher education
