The Ministry of National Education has announced the extension of the deadline for submitting initial school orientation wishes for the 2025-2026 school year, now set for March 14. This measure is part of the online orientation and reorientation operations for pupils.
The measure concerns pupils in the fourth year of middle school as well as those in the first year of general and technological secondary education, particularly those who were unable to complete the procedure during the initially scheduled period.
The ministry has reaffirmed its commitment to fully involving parents in monitoring their children’s academic journey. It has thus called on them to take advantage of this additional deadline to confirm or modify, if necessary, the choices made, via the Parents’ Space accessible on the official electronic portal https://awlyaa.education.dz/.
In a recent press release, the ministry indicated that these initial wishes can be modified or confirmed from March 15 to 30. Failing confirmation within the allotted deadlines, the initial wishes will be automatically validated by the computer system.
Regarding final wishes, parents must confirm them via the Parents’ Space between May 15 and 30, 2026. In case of non-confirmation, the system will automatically proceed with their validation. Parents will be informed of orientation decisions through third-quarter evaluation reports and via the Parents’ Space, between June 28 and July 9, 2026. The ministry also specified that parents may file an appeal against their child’s orientation decision exclusively electronically via the Parents’ Space, between July 10 and September 8, 2026.
Decisions from the wilaya commissions responsible for appeals will be communicated no later than September 17, 2026, noting that these decisions are final and not subject to further appeal. Regarding the reorientation of general and technological secondary pupils, the ministry explained that this procedure allows a pupil, after completing a full school year, to change their common core or stream when it does not match their abilities or aptitudes, provided they have achieved sufficient academic results in the determining subjects of the requested stream. This approach aims to help the pupil choose the path best suited to their profile.
To this end, concerned parents must submit reorientation requests via the Parents’ Space between May 25 and June 23, 2026. Reorientation decisions will be notified through third-quarter reports and via the Parents’ Space, between June 28 and July 9, 2026; these decisions are final and not subject to appeal. Finally, the Ministry of National Education has insisted on the strict observance of the deadlines set for each operation and on the regular monitoring of accounts in the Parents’ Space to ensure the smooth running of orientation and reorientation processes.
