National Education Minister Mohamed Seghir Saâdaoui announced yesterday the rollout of the “Raqmana” digital platform. This new tool instantly notifies families of their children’s absences, aiming to curb a scourge that severely hampers academic performance.
The education sector presses ahead with digital transformation. On the sidelines of closing the first “National School Innovation Award,” Minister Saâdaoui unveiled a fresh suite of online services. From automated absenteeism tracking to remote enrollment for the diaspora, the ministry seeks to streamline operations and tighten school-family ties.
Regarding the “Raqmana” platform, the minister explained it bolsters the existing online registration system while serving as an all-in-one hub to digitize administrative and teaching processes further.
Parents will now receive real-time alerts on any recorded absence via their personal accounts in the dedicated parent portal. This step boosts family responsiveness and combats school truancy. For the ministry, this “digital oversight” goes beyond admin—it’s a remediation aid.
Yet the ministry looks further than mere notifications. “Real-time data will fuel absenteeism analysis and tailored teaching plans,” the minister clarified.
“Raqmana” also grants easy access to all administrative and academic documents. With a few clicks, parents can view and download absence notices, excuses, or daily reports. The parent space thus becomes a one-stop hub for schooling essentials.
In a push for accessibility and ease, families abroad in the national community can now submit online enrollment requests for their kids. This digital setup promises faster, clearer processing and fewer bureaucratic hurdles.
Another fresh feature: parents can check weekly timetables. It aids revision planning, learning tracking, and daily prep like school supplies. Quarterly exam schedules are available digitally well in advance too.
For the minister, this tech leap is vital for fortifying school-family bonds, equipping parents to support evaluation prep in smarter, more organized ways.
Amid these reveals, the “National School Innovation Award” finale spotlighted strong interest in STEM fields. Focused on robotics, the event drew 742 projects across three levels. Middle school led with 382 entries, followed by secondary (228) and primary (132).
By honoring the top three national projects, the ministry signals intent to make tech innovation a cornerstone of tomorrow’s schools, not just rhetoric.
