In a decisive move to quell mounting speculation, a high-ranking official from the Ministry of National Education, Preschool, and Sports has categorically denied rumors suggesting major changes to the educational curriculum and schedules for the upcoming academic year. The ministry's stance underscores its commitment to maintaining continuity and stability within the educational system.

The official confirmed that no new measures concerning study programs, examinations, or teaching hours are currently on the agenda, dismissing the circulating rumors as unfounded and baseless.

Contrary to the claims propagated across various social media platforms, the ministry's spokesperson clarified that there will be no alterations to the number of teaching hours, nor will local examinations be canceled. Furthermore, the current study programs will remain unchanged, at least for the time being.

Corroborating the ministry's stance, union sources from the Democratic Labor Confederation (CDT) have also indicated that stakeholders within the educational sector have not received any notifications confirming such changes. These clarifications come in the wake of an agreement signed between the ministry and representative unions, which envisioned a reassessment of teaching hours and a potential streamlining of curricula to achieve a more balanced distribution of study periods.

During the establishment of the permanent commission for the revision and adaptation of curricula, Minister Chakib Benmoussa underscored that this initiative is part of a broader series of educational reforms aimed at enhancing the quality of teaching by placing students at the heart of the educational system. The project encompasses a review of teaching methodologies for core subjects, such as languages and mathematics, with the goal of strengthening the quality of learning outcomes.

As the nation prepares for the upcoming academic year, the Ministry of Education's unequivocal stance serves to allay concerns and provide reassurance to students, parents, and educators alike. By maintaining stability in curricula and timetables, the ministry aims to foster an environment conducive to seamless academic progression, while simultaneously exploring avenues for long-term improvements within the educational landscape.
