Road Safety: Awareness Campaigns Taking Place in Schools

Facing the growing risks linked to road traffic, awareness‑raising activities are multiplying inside schools across the country. In several wilayas, targeted campaigns aimed at pupils of all cycles have been launched, with the objective of instilling from childhood the basic rules needed to move about safely.

Launched by local road‑safety delegations within the framework of the national school‑based awareness programme, this initiative brings together a broad range of actors. Alongside the National Security (Sûreté) and the National Gendarmerie, local associations and civil‑society representatives are actively involved in these on‑the‑ground efforts.

In schools, educational sessions are held to explain to pupils the essential rules of road safety. Intervention teams insist, in particular, on the importance of respecting the Highway Code and adopting responsible behavior, whether as pedestrians or as future drivers.

Tailored to the age of the children, these sessions are designed to be both interactive and accessible, with the aim of solidly embedding a culture of caution and vigilance.

In parallel, teaching guides and educational brochures are distributed to pupils. These materials are intended to strengthen their understanding of the dangers posed by the road and to encourage the daily adoption of safe behaviors.

These activities are part of a broader national strategy aimed at reducing accident risks, especially among the youngest. By relying on prevention and education, the authorities seek to establish a genuine culture of road safety and responsibility among future generations of Algerian road users.
