The Algerian Ministry of National Education has announced that it will take disciplinary action against students and teachers who use their phones to live stream videos in class. According to the ministry, these cases will be handled in accordance with the internal regulations of schools, and the perpetrators will be brought before the disciplinary council. The move is aimed at maintaining discipline and respect for the educational process.
The announcement was made during a national conference held via videoconference, chaired by Minister of National Education, Mohamed Seghir Saadaoui. The conference brought together directors of education and school principals to discuss various issues related to the organization and management of schools. The minister emphasized the importance of enforcing the internal regulations of schools, which prohibit the use of mobile phones and recording devices in class.
Saadaoui praised the vigilance of education directors and school principals in managing cases of phone use in class. He stressed that these situations are isolated and that the ministry is committed to ensuring that the educational process is not disrupted. The minister also called on all stakeholders to respect the ethics and sanctity of the educational process.
The internal regulations of schools, which were recently unified and adopted, are seen as a key tool in promoting a positive and respectful learning environment. The regulations prohibit the use of mobile phones and recording devices in class, and provide for disciplinary action against those who breach this rule. Parents of students will be required to receive a copy of the regulations, either in paper or electronic form.
The ministry has also emphasized the importance of raising awareness about the regulations and the consequences of breaching them. Inspectors, school principals, teachers, and counselors are expected to intensify their efforts to educate students and parents about the regulations and the importance of respecting them. This move is seen as part of the ministry's efforts to improve the quality of education and promote a culture of responsibility and respect.
The crackdown on in-class live streaming is part of a broader effort to maintain discipline and order in schools. The ministry has stated that it will take a firm stance against any behavior that disrupts the educational process or undermines the authority of teachers and school administrators. The move has been welcomed by many parents and educators, who see it as a necessary step to ensure that students receive a quality education.
Algeria has made significant progress in education in recent years, ranking third globally in the 2026 Global Innovation Index for the "Education" indicator. The country's education system is seen as a key driver of economic growth and social development. The ministry's efforts to promote discipline and respect for the educational process are expected to contribute to this progress and ensure that Algerian students receive a high-quality education.
