In a meeting held at the Mohamed Lamine Fadika Cultural Center, the Inspector of preschool and primary education in Touba, Kandé Daouda, presented the main administrative directives from the Ministry of National Education, Literacy, and Technical Education. These directives are set to take effect for the 2026-2027 academic year. The meeting, which was attended by teachers, aimed to familiarize them with the new regulations and guidelines that will govern their operations.

During the meeting, Kandé Daouda highlighted several recently adopted regulatory texts. These include decrees n°3035 and n°3038, dated September 11, 2026, which prohibit the sale of school textbooks within school premises and regulate the use of authorized textbooks, respectively. Additionally, he discussed decree n°3037, which pertains to the implementation of the National Program to Support Fundamental Learning (PNAPAS) from preschool to CE2.

The Inspector also emphasized the importance of protecting students' images and personal data. He referenced circular n°3293/MENAET/DAJC, dated September 24, 2026, which outlines the rules for capturing and disseminating students' images, voices, and personal data. This move aims to ensure that students' rights and privacy are respected.

Professional conduct was another key topic addressed during the meeting. Kandé Daouda stressed the need for teachers to respect the hierarchy, maintain discretion in their duties, and adhere to administrative procedures. He specified that requests for leave of absence must be justified with factual evidence and that the Inspector has the authority to approve absences exceeding one day.

To enhance service organization and user reception, the Inspector announced that administrative visits to the Touba Inspection are now permitted on Wednesdays. This scheduling adjustment is expected to streamline operations and improve communication between teachers, administrators, and the Inspection.

The briefing provided teachers with a comprehensive understanding of the new directives and their implications for their professional responsibilities during the 2026-2027 academic year. By being informed about these changes, educators in Touba are better equipped to adapt to the evolving educational landscape.
