These are the solutions to generalize preparatory education in the country’s schools

The Ministry of National Education has released the “application guide” for the preparatory education curriculum, urging in this regard the directors of education of the  country’s provinces through the inspectors of the primary education stage to implement the necessary procedures in order to achieve the desired goal, which is to generalize “preparatory education” across all schools of the country, by relying on the “rotation system”, provided that the number of  pupils in one educational group does not exceed 25 students.
With the approach of the school entry date for the next season 2024/2025, the Ministry of Supervision, through its central services and its provincial directorates, entered into a race against time, in order to complete all procedural operations, in order to ensure a stable school entry without protests.
In this regard, all departments were ordered to mobilize to make the preparatory education “generalization” project a success, by following a clear work plan based primarily on working with the “rotation system”, by allocating, for example, two and a half days a week to teach the first group, i.e. Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursday mornings, while two and a half days are also allocated for the benefit of the second educational group, which are Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursday evenings, in order to enable all parents to seize a pedagogical seat for their children, away from favoritism and “acquaintances”.
In addition, “Echorouk” sources highlighted that primary school principals have received instructions urging them to implement the same “application guide” in its entirety on the ground, by adhering to the application arrangements contained therein, by capping the number of students to some extent, as their number in each educational group does not exceed 25 students, with the need to take into account the specificity of each school, its system and the number of students and rooms, in order to make the “rotation system” a success.
Moreover, the same sources pointed out that primary school principals are required to appoint one teacher to teach the two educational groups, namely educational group “A” and educational group “B”, where he will be obligated to teach 50 students per week.
Our sources explained that the aim of adopting the “rotation system” is to double the number of children in preparatory education classes, who can be received in one room, provided that complementary measures are implemented, mainly related to the importance of adapting the curriculum in a way that ensures achieving educational goals more efficiently in less time, by focusing on basic “academic and social” skills that allow children to quickly adapt to primary education programs later, in addition to meeting psychological and social needs through educational activities and guided play.
In order to properly enforce the “implementation guide” for the preparatory education curriculum, in the field, which will be embodied in schools that operate on a double shift system, our sources indicated that the guardianship called on the primary education inspectors for the Arabic language subject, who participated in the training process on the developments of the upcoming school year held on September 11 and 12, to the importance of engaging in the effort to train the remaining inspectors in the Arabic and French languages subjects on the 17th and 18th of the month, in addition to allocating the 19th, 20th and 21st of the same month to train primary school teachers, in addition to exploiting the first week of the school year for pupils to train primary school principals.
