An award ceremony was held on Thursday to honor the winning students of the fourth edition of the national competition for the best school works on “Constitution and Citizenship.” The event was organized by the Constitutional Court in cooperation with the Ministry of National Education under the slogan “Constitution: Awareness and Commitment.”
Leila Asslaoui, President of the Constitutional Court, oversaw the ceremony. She stated that the competition is part of the court’s efforts to spread and consolidate constitutional culture within society and among the younger generation. She noted that this fourth edition, which includes middle and high school students, serves as a fundamental pillar in forming citizens who are aware of their guaranteed constitutional rights and their duties toward their society and country.
In her speech, Asslaoui emphasized that raising children and instilling a sense of responsibility toward the nation is a collective responsibility. She added that the Constitutional Court continues to organize this competition to encourage youth to adhere to national identity and civilizational values while enhancing their legal culture and civic sense.
She also announced the launch of a “Constitutional Portal for Youth” on the court’s website. This platform allows students to explore the Constitution and the Constitutional Court, aiming to provide them with values of citizenship and pride in their national belonging as the future of the nation.
