The Algerian Ministry of National Education has issued a statement denying reports that mothers are being banned from monitoring their children's education. According to the ministry, following a student's academic progress is a shared responsibility between families and schools. The ministry emphasized that it welcomes parents as partners in all its educational institutions, working together to ensure students' comfort and discipline.
The denial comes after some social media posts claimed that mothers were being barred from monitoring their children's educational affairs. The ministry described these reports as false and misleading, aiming to disrupt the harmony between parents and educational institutions. The ministry's statement stressed that parents are free to choose who will follow up on their child's educational affairs in agreement with the educational institution.

He emphasized the need to monitor the effective integration of those concerned and their continuity in performing their duties. The minister also stressed the importance of completing the process of mapping to finalize the staffing process.
