The Ministry of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport in Algeria has initiated a nationwide awareness campaign aimed at ensuring a safe and secure school year. The campaign, which was launched on September 22, 2026, will run across various official platforms, including social media and websites. This initiative seeks to promote a culture of vigilance and reporting among citizens, encouraging them to report any suspicious activities that may compromise the safety of individuals and property.

The campaign, dubbed "جهودنا موحدة.. لموسم دراسي أمن" or "Our Efforts United for a Safe School Year," aims to complement the ongoing efforts of various sectors to ensure a smooth start to the new school year. With over 14 million students and university students returning to their classrooms after the summer break, the authorities are working to provide a secure environment for learning. The campaign will focus on promoting road safety, crime prevention, and emergency preparedness.

The Ministry has partnered with several agencies, including the National Police, Civil Protection, and the National Road Safety Commission, to implement the campaign. These agencies will work together to disseminate safety tips and advice to students, teachers, and parents through various channels, including social media, schools, and community centers. The goal is to raise awareness about potential risks and promote a culture of safety and responsibility.

As part of the campaign, the Ministry will also organize awareness-raising activities in schools, including workshops and lectures on road safety, cybercrime, and emergency preparedness. These activities will be conducted in collaboration with various stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies, civil protection services, and road safety experts. By educating students about potential risks and how to mitigate them, the authorities hope to reduce the incidence of accidents and crimes.

The launch of the campaign coincides with the start of the new school year, which has seen over 14 million students and university students return to their classrooms. The authorities have deployed various measures to ensure a smooth start to the school year, including increased security presence in and around schools, improved transportation services, and enhanced emergency response systems.

In addition to the awareness campaign, the Ministry of National Education has also launched a series of initiatives aimed at promoting health and well-being among students. These initiatives include the organization of a school health week, which will feature workshops and activities focused on promoting healthy behaviors, preventing addiction, and addressing mental health issues.

The Ministry of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport has reaffirmed its commitment to working with various stakeholders to ensure a safe and secure school year. By promoting a culture of vigilance and responsibility, the authorities hope to reduce the incidence of accidents and crimes, and provide a conducive learning environment for all students.
