The Algerian Ministry of National Education has announced that there have been no changes to the schedule of exams for the first trimester of the current academic year. This confirmation comes after some media outlets reported possible changes to the exam dates. According to the ministry, the dates of the compositions remain as initially stated in the ministerial instruction number 720 of November 5, 2019.

The Ministry of National Education, led by Minister Abdelhakim Belabed, expressed gratitude to the media for their interest in the education sector. The ministry also stated that it is available to verify any information and provide accurate data to the media. This move aims to ensure the dissemination of correct information to the public, particularly students and parents.

The ministry had previously released the exam schedule for the end of the academic year. The primary school leaving exam is set for May 28, 2020, while the Brevet d'enseignement moyen (BEM) exams will take place from June 1 to June 3, 2020. Additionally, the baccalauréat exams are scheduled from June 7 to June 11, 2020.

Minister Abdelhakim Belabed recently introduced new measures to improve the organization of the baccalauréat exams. These measures include reducing the workload on students and implementing a mixed commission to oversee the exam process. The commission comprises representatives from various ministries, including Education, Defense, Post, Information Technology, and Communication.

The mixed commission is tasked with ensuring the smooth conduct of the baccalauréat exams and preventing any potential fraud. This initiative reflects the government's efforts to enhance the credibility and transparency of the exam process. By involving multiple ministries, the commission aims to provide a secure and fair environment for students.

The Algerian government has been working to improve the education sector, addressing concerns and implementing reforms. The confirmation of the exam schedule and the introduction of new measures demonstrate the ministry's commitment to providing a stable and efficient learning environment.

Students, parents, and educators can expect a well-organized exam period, with clear guidelines and measures in place to prevent irregularities. The ministry's efforts to provide accurate information and engage with the media also contribute to a more transparent and accountable education system.
