The Algerian Ministry of National Education has announced new arrangements to address the issues faced by students who were registered with reservations on the digital platform. This decision was made due to discrepancies between the information provided by their parents and the data in the civil status register of the Ministry of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport.

According to the instruction numbered 476, dated September 23, 2026, students who have been accepted into educational institutions will be allowed to join their classes, regardless of their status, while their information is being corrected and matched with the civil status register. This measure aims to ensure that students are not penalized due to administrative issues.

The instruction also states that students whose parents have submitted registration requests will be assigned to one of the educational institutions of their choice, based on the number of students and the capacity of the institutions concerned. This decision is part of the efforts to facilitate the registration process and ensure that students can join their chosen schools.

The Ministry's services will utilize the civil status portal to verify the cases registered with reservations, in coordination with the directors of educational institutions, to correct the information. The directors of educational institutions will be responsible for correcting and confirming the registered information, if necessary, by referring to the concerned person's birth certificate.

Once the information has been corrected and matched, the Ministry of National Education will lift the reservations and include the students in the lists of students in their respective institutions. After lifting the reservations and matching the information, the directors of educational institutions will register the concerned students according to the adopted regulations and direct them to their classes through their digital platform accounts.

The Ministry of National Education has called on parents to bring their concerns to the attention of the educational authorities, who will address them within their delegated powers. In cases where concerns cannot be addressed, they will be forwarded to the Ministry's services to alleviate the burden on citizens, particularly those traveling from distant provinces.

The Ministry's efforts aim to streamline the student registration process and minimize disruptions to the academic year. By introducing these measures, the Ministry of National Education seeks to ensure that all students can access education without undue obstacles.
