Ministry of Education Takes Measures to Protect Schools from Violence
The Ministry of Education has adopted a series of measures to protect schools from all forms of violence. This includes the prohibition of "Dakla" (a traditional celebration) and photography within the school premises.
At the risk of displeasing future baccalaureate students, the ministry has sent an official note to regional education commissioners and school directors, specifying that it is now forbidden to organize any activity related to "Dakla" or "Craquage" (a form of celebration), or any other manifestation that could compromise the safety of the educational community or disrupt school life through acts of excess or violent behavior.
The ministry calls for rapid reporting, immediate treatment, and the implementation of necessary disciplinary and legal measures.
The ministry has also reaffirmed the strict prohibition for students, outside of authorized official frameworks, to bring or use mobile phones within school premises, as well as the prohibition of filming inside the school.
The measures also include the allocation of a single entrance for students and visitors, entrusted to a permanent guardian responsible for opening and closing according to fixed schedules, while verifying the identity of visitors. "All other exits must remain closed and only be used in case of absolute necessity," the note states.
The ministry also calls for regulating the circulation of parents and visitors, prohibiting access to classrooms and educational areas during classes, while setting specific time slots for receiving parents to preserve the interest of the student and the smooth running of lessons.
Furthermore, regional commissioners are invited to encourage teachers of all specialties to devote time to exchanging with students to warn them against forms of violence, sensitize them to the risks of certain behaviors, and establish a culture of dialogue as the only means of peaceful coexistence.
The ministry concluded the note by emphasizing the importance of strengthening cooperation with security services and local authorities to secure the surroundings of schools.
It insisted on the opening of schools to their social environment through periodic meetings with parents to enhance their educational role, while inviting them to respect teachers and ensure daily monitoring of their children's schooling and behavior.
