Municipality development
The municipality of Bourached has experienced significant growth in various sectors, particularly after the construction of the east-west highway, which facilitated its urban development. This expansion has created a conducive environment for launching major projects, one notable example being the wholesale market project. Initiated by the Minister of Commerce, Mustafa Ben Badda, at the end of 2012, this project is anticipated to meet international standards upon completion. It is designed to include comprehensive facilities, such as hotel services, a bank, and a security center.

In the educational sector, Bourached is home to several institutions. It boasts a secondary school named "Bouchareb Al-Taher" and two middle schools, "Mkhaledi Kouider" and "Galloaz Moussa", the latter being recognized as the oldest educational structure in the area, having been established in 1987. A new middle school was recently constructed on the former site of the Bouchareb Al-Tahir Secondary School, which has since been relocated to a new building opposite the old one for the 2014/2015 school year. This new facility was inaugurated by the Minister of Education, Nouria Ben Ghabrit. Additionally, the "Ahmed Rashidi" Middle School, dedicated to the children of Si Ahmed, was opened in 2001 by the Minister of National Education, Abu Bakr Ben Bouzid. Bourached also hosts approximately 14 primary schools, with Bahi Al-Hajj being the oldest, established in 1972 in the children of Si Ahmed area.
