Algerian Education Minister Mohamed Seghir Saâdaoui has taken a firm stance on students who live stream from classrooms. In a recent statement, the minister announced that students engaging in such behavior will face disciplinary action in accordance with the internal regulations of educational institutions. This move aims to address isolated incidents that have been reported and to maintain the sanctity of the educational process.
According to Minister Saâdaoui, the live streaming of videos from classrooms is a serious offense that undermines the learning environment. He emphasized that such actions will be dealt with in accordance with Article 43 of the internal regulations, which governs the use of mobile phones and communication devices within classrooms. The minister has instructed school administrators to summon students involved in such incidents before the disciplinary council, in the presence of their parents.
The issue of live streaming from classrooms was discussed during a national conference held via videoconference with education directors. The conference focused on several key issues related to the current school year, including the implementation of the unified internal regulations, the regulation of pedagogical supervision, and the management of vacant positions. Minister Saâdaoui stressed the importance of ensuring a smooth and uniform application of the new internal regulations in educational institutions.
The new internal regulations aim to improve school conditions, structure school life, and enhance communication among members of the educational community. Minister Saâdaoui has requested that the regulations be made known to all members of the educational community, including parents, through digital means. Parents will receive a paper or electronic copy of the regulations and will be required to acknowledge that they have read and understood them.
Education directors have presented their reports to Minister Saâdaoui, highlighting progress made in addressing teacher shortages. The minister praised the efforts of education authorities in respecting legal and regulatory provisions, while cautioning them against being influenced by social media or attempts to disrupt the implementation of regulations. He also instructed the opening of recruitment for candidates from other regions in the specialty of physical education and sports in areas with vacant positions.
The ministry has reported completing the regularization of supervision in other subjects and at different levels of education. Minister Saâdaoui addressed concerns expressed by certain groups, including former contract teachers, candidates who participated in the recruitment competition, and those on waiting lists. He emphasized that these situations will be handled in accordance with existing laws and regulations.
In conclusion, Minister Saâdaoui commended the efforts of sector cadres and staff in ensuring a stable start to the school year. He also highlighted Algeria's achievements in the 2026 Global Innovation Index, particularly its ranking in education and public financing per student.
