President Bouteflika criticizes fundamental studies system President Bouteflika criticizes fundamental studies system

In his 1st day visit to Setif
Tuesday Jun 26 2007.

President Bouteflika criticized with a hardly worded tone national education minister M. Benbouzid when inaugurating a new high school in Orissa municipality in his first-day visit to Setif




as he wondered about the usefulness of the new system of fundamental studies examination stating “it is unconceivable that a pupil who has 12/20 in the quarterly results during the school year has to repeat a year if he failed to pass the final exam. If you cannot provide classes for pupils, be brave and say it overtly”.

Education minister tried to justify the matter pointing out: “our objective is to level the educational skills of pupils”, yet the president seemed not to be convinced adding “this system has to be changed as of the next school year, and the quarterly results are to be counted in the average to pas the exam”.

During his visit to Setif, President Bouteflika inaugurated many projects namely national road n°5, the linking with natural gas of Mahdia region agglomerations, the inauguration of a new high school, in addition to a youth house in the same municipality.

Moreover, President Bouteflika concluded his first day visit by taking stock of many university, health, and sport projects in Setif city center. He is expected to continue his visit tomorrow to the other municipalities.
