introduced in this text, enacted in September 2008, includes not only the organization
of the care of non disabled children who are not allowed in the preparatory national
education classes, but also those with disabilities and for whom units are specially
furnished and incentives in terms of teacher support are granted by the Authorities.
282.In addition, the law creates provisions that favour the creation of these structures
using the following formulas:
a. Group care, which will take place in institutions created by local communities,
businesses and public services, social security, mutual organizations, associations,
individuals or entities based on specifications and conditions set by the relevant public
institutions;
b. Collective care can be arranged in the form of day care for children from three (03)
months to three (03) years, of kindergartens for children from three (03) years or
more, and day nurseries for temporary care or occasionally and multi care institutions
tailored to the needs of parents;
c. Foster care, which will take place at the home of the childminder formalized by a
contract with the commissioning parents and approved by the management of the
wilaya responsible for social action and solidarity.
283.Finally, the implementation of regulations governing facilities and care services
for young children and diversification formulas as well as proposed strict control
measures will contribute immensely in expanding preschool education and early
learning for all Algerian children without exception.
284.Since 2006, municipalities were provided with subsidies in order to complete
early childhood institutions, the operation aims to achieve 487 nurseries whose cost is
estimated at $ 5.3 Billion AD. This operation aims to:
- Ensure support for early childhood and to ensure fulfilment, enlightenment and a
safe and healthy life;
- Strengthen the network of childcare facilities and meet the increasing number of
requests for the placement of children in day care.
285.Information and Educational and Vocational Guidance: To carry out this
mission, the state employs more than a thousand advisors and senior advisors of
educational and vocational guidance who have a basic training as psychologists in
educational psychology or educational and vocational guidance. These professionals
are spread throughout the country in schools or in educational and vocational
guidance centres. Numbers of measures have been initiated to encourage regular
school attendance. In addition to the disabled and incarcerated youth, the education
sector and vocational education provides specific support to girls in rural areas. Thus,
training schedules and detached sections were opened in these areas to facilitate
access of rural women to vocational training.
