Algerian Minister of National Solidarity, Family, and Women's Condition, Soraya Mouloudji, recently launched the 2026-2027 training year for national specialized training centers. The event, held at the CNFPS in Birkhadem, marks the implementation of major educational reforms. These reforms include a new specialized training program and a guide for trainees. The goal is to enhance training methods, strengthen practical aspects, and align acquired knowledge with the reality of working in specialized establishments.
Minister Mouloudji emphasized that a new specialized training program will be implemented this year, based on an inter-ministerial decree issued on August 12, 2025. This decree sets conditions for accessing specialized training for specific grades within the national solidarity administration and outlines its organization. The program was published in the Official Journal for the first time. Mouloudji highlighted that these reforms also involve revising and updating training program content by introducing new modules and themes that reflect recent developments in care.
The revised programs address various topics, including autism spectrum disorders, early education, education for children with specific needs, techniques for supporting students in school, social and professional life, adapted physical education, gerontology, and teaching strategies for individuals with specific needs. These updates aim to improve the quality of care and support provided to vulnerable populations. By introducing these new topics, the Algerian government seeks to enhance the skills and knowledge of professionals in the field.
In addition to updating program content, a trainee guide has been developed to standardize work methods, define different stages of the training process, and provide a clear reference for both trainees and trainers. This guide is expected to improve the overall training experience and ensure that all stakeholders are aware of their roles and responsibilities. The ministry has also updated a circular from January 31, 1993, to adapt it to the changes induced by the program reforms.
The updated circular aims to clarify the pedagogical and organizational framework, enabling more regular and effective monitoring of the training process. Minister Mouloudji stressed that the sector prioritizes openness to scientific research and applied studies, as well as initiatives that promote professional practices and innovative solutions to challenges in the care sector. This focus on research and innovation is expected to lead to better outcomes for those receiving care and support.
The reforms are part of a broader effort to improve the quality of education and care in Algeria. By introducing new programs and guidelines, the government aims to address the evolving needs of vulnerable populations and provide more effective support. The implementation of these reforms will be closely monitored to assess their impact and identify areas for further improvement.
Overall, the launch of the 2026-2027 training year marks a significant milestone in Algeria's efforts to enhance its education and care systems. With a focus on innovation, research, and practical skills, the new programs and guidelines are expected to have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of Algerians. The success of these reforms will depend on effective implementation and ongoing evaluation.
