Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune convened a Council of Ministers meeting this Sunday to discuss several key issues. Among these was a directive to keep schools in Algeria free from ideological influences. The President also addressed a review of the Penal Code, specifically considering the reintroduction of the death penalty. Discussions further encompassed preparations for the 2026-2027 school year. The move to shield Algerian schools from ideologies signals a focus on secular education, while the potential reinstatement of capital punishment indicates a hardline stance on certain crimes.
