The Algerian National Security Agency has introduced a comprehensive security plan for the 2026-2027 school year, aiming to enhance the presence of operational units across the country. This initiative, coordinated with various partners, seeks to guarantee a smooth and secure school year. The plan involves mobilizing substantial material and human resources to facilitate traffic flow on major and secondary roads, particularly those leading to educational institutions.
The security plan includes the deployment of foot, mounted, and motorcycle patrols to secure the vicinity of schools. Furthermore, the agency will reinforce its security formations with aerial patrols by National Security helicopters. These helicopters will operate in real-time coordination with operation centers to manage traffic, especially during peak hours, by providing direct updates on road conditions.
In conjunction with the security measures, the National Security Agency will launch a national awareness campaign titled "Together to Reduce Traffic Accidents," targeting students and vehicle drivers. This campaign, in partnership with the National Gendarmerie and other traffic awareness stakeholders, will provide guidance on adhering to traffic laws and avoiding reckless driving behaviors.
The awareness campaign will include educational activities for vehicle drivers, focusing on the importance of respecting traffic regulations, avoiding excessive speed, dangerous overtaking, and risky stops. The agency aims to promote responsible driving habits among Algerian road users.
The National Security Agency has expressed its wish for a successful school year for students and the educational community. The agency has also urged vehicle drivers to avoid random stops near educational institutions and to comply with security personnel instructions. It has made available the green numbers 1548 and 17, as well as official digital platforms, for citizens' assistance 24/7.
As part of the preparations for the new school year, approximately 12 million students are expected to join their schools. The National Security Agency's efforts are geared towards ensuring their safety and security. This involves not only securing the immediate environment of schools but also managing traffic flow efficiently.
The comprehensive security plan and awareness campaign reflect the Algerian authorities' commitment to providing a secure environment for students and the broader community. By engaging various stakeholders and leveraging technology, the National Security Agency aims to minimize risks and promote a culture of safety and responsibility.
