The back-to-school season in Constantine was marked by the inauguration of two new educational institutions on September 20, 2026. The institutions, a middle school and a high school, were opened in the Ali Mangi district. The inauguration was attended by the Wali (Governor) of Constantine, Kamal Eddine Karboush. The new institutions aim to improve education infrastructure and provide better learning conditions for students.
The two institutions inaugurated are the Echahid Hariz Ali middle school in the 14630 housing estate in the western extension of the 14th neighborhood of Ali Mangi, and the Echahid Amar Safsouf elementary school in the 1900 housing estate in the 20th neighborhood of Ali Mangi. These institutions are part of a larger effort to strengthen the education sector in Constantine. The Wali emphasized that the inauguration of these institutions is in line with the instructions of the country's top authorities to improve education infrastructure.
According to the Wali, more than 15 educational institutions are expected to be put into service in September, including 9 school complexes, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. Additionally, other institutions are expected to be inaugurated in December, including 2 high schools and 3 semi-internal institutions. These new institutions aim to address overcrowding and improve learning conditions for students.
The Wali also emphasized the importance of providing meals for students, ensuring that all students receive a meal from the first day of school. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to support students and improve their educational experience. The education sector in Constantine is expected to benefit from these new institutions and initiatives.
