In a remarkable display of community support, the commune of Ouled Sidi Brahim in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria, has decided to provide free school supplies to all its primary school students. This initiative, led by the Communal People's Assembly (APC), aims to promote equality and reduce disparities among children in the region. According to Nihad Laazizi, president of the APC, a special budget was allocated to ensure that every student receives the necessary school supplies.
The decision to provide free school supplies to all students was made to address the issue of exclusion felt by some students who did not receive assistance in the past. The commune's socio-economic conditions are relatively similar, and the initiative aims to promote a sense of unity and equality among all students. Laazizi emphasized that this measure is a demonstration of the state's support for families during the back-to-school season.
The initiative has brought joy to nearly 400 students who received their school bags on the first day of school, creating a festive atmosphere. The commune's effort has been met with relief and satisfaction from parents, who appreciate the support provided to their children. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.
The launch of the new school year was also marked by the inauguration of four new educational institutions in Bordj Bou Arreridj, including a primary school, a middle school, and a high school. Local authorities supervised the official launch of the school year, inspecting the functioning of school canteens, pedagogical conditions, and transportation.
Similar initiatives have been reported in other parts of the country, highlighting the spirit of community and solidarity that characterizes the back-to-school season. In Azzaba, Skikda province, a citizen has taken the initiative to install warning signs in front of several primary schools to promote road safety and protect students.
The efforts of local communities and authorities to support students and ensure a smooth start to the school year are noteworthy. By providing free school supplies and promoting road safety, these initiatives demonstrate a commitment to the well-being and education of Algerian children.
As the new school year begins, the commune of Ouled Sidi Brahim and other communities across Algeria are setting an example of solidarity and support for students. These initiatives are a testament to the importance of community involvement in promoting education and equality.
