The National Forum for Primary School Inspectors of Physical Education and Sports took place in Sidi Bel Abbes on 19 and 20 October 2026. Organised under the supervision of the Ministry of National Education, the event addressed proposed reforms for sports infrastructure and health standards within the primary education system. A total of 143 inspectors attended the forum to review these national proposals. Participants evaluated the current state of athletic facilities and discussed guidelines intended to improve student health outcomes across the country. The proceedings concluded on 20 October, marking the end of the two-day session held in the region.
Financial Support for Equipment
The Ministry of National Education has allocated 80 billion centimes to facilitate the acquisition of essential sports equipment and tools for primary schools. Officials designed this financial aid to address identified deficiencies in current athletic resources across the education system. Schools will use these funds to purchase necessary gear required for physical education curricula. The initiative aims to standardize the quality of training materials available to students nationwide. By providing this capital, the Ministry of National Education intends to improve the practical implementation of sports programs within the primary education sector. This budgetary provision follows discussions held during the recent National Forum for Primary School Inspectors of Physical Education and Sports in Sidi Bel Abbes.
Infrastructure and Safety Upgrades
Inspectors attending the National Forum for Primary School Inspectors of Physical Education and Sports recommended the installation of rubber flooring in all primary school sports fields. This proposal aims to prevent injuries among students during physical education activities. The recommendation follows an assessment of current safety conditions in athletic facilities across the country.
The forum included five workshops focused on the five years of primary education. Participants utilized these sessions to review current curricula and evaluation standards for the primary education system. Each workshop addressed specific developmental requirements for students at different grade levels within the five-year cycle. These reviews provided a structure for inspectors to align physical education practices with national standards.
Inspectors also called for mandatory periodic health screenings for students at the beginning of each school year. The proposal seeks to establish a consistent health monitoring system to identify potential medical issues early in the academic term. Implementation of these screenings would ensure that students are physically prepared for the demands of the school sports curriculum. By requiring these evaluations annually, the inspectors intend to integrate health oversight directly into the educational process for all primary school pupils.
