Baccalaureate Exams to Keep French and Philosophy, Tebboune Decides

President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has affirmed the continued inclusion of French and philosophy as core subjects for the baccalaureate exams in Algeria. This decision follows an extensive national debate regarding potential modifications to the educational curriculum. The presidential intervention effectively resolved discussions surrounding the potential removal of French from the examination syllabus.

The outcome of the national discourse led to a clear directive from President Tebboune, ensuring that both French language and philosophy remain integral components of the baccalaureate assessment. Consequently, the Ministry of National Education officially reversed its earlier project to amend the educational curriculum, aligning with the President's pronouncement.

This definitive decision by President Tebboune underscores a commitment to the stability of the national education system and the thoughtful consideration of key subjects. The maintenance of French and philosophy in the baccalaureate reflects a measured approach to curriculum development after a period of significant public discussion.
