Talking yesterday from Al Agouti (southern Algeria) the Algerian education minister Abu Bakr Ben Bouzid has declared “I don’t care who wears the Hidjab (veil) or not what matters for me is that everybody is concerned by sports examination except those who present medical certificates”.

•  He seized this opportunity to raise the problem faced by the French language teachers in the south saying “ I will not abandon the idea of giving housing teachers coming from the northern parts of the country into the south to teach the French language” … “ The era of terrorism and persecution against  French language teachers is over and it’s  crucial for our sons to learn this language”, he added.
