Algeria’s Back-to-School Fiasco: Bureaucratic Contortions and Forgotten Supplies from China

2023-09-02 13:22:29
Algeria, always quick to surprise us with bureaucratic contortions worthy of an absurd play by Kafka, offers us this year a scenario worthy of a tragic comedy. While students across the country are impatiently waiting to return to school, the start of the school year has been suspended due to the absence of essential Chinese school items!…

It seems that Algerian officials have forgotten a crucial detail: the purchase of school supplies from China. Yes, you read that right, back to school is on hold because they neglected to acquire school supplies on time. One may wonder how such an aberration is possible, but in the Kafkaesque universe of the Algerian bureaucracy, anything is possible!…

It seems that someone had the brilliant idea to outsource the purchase of school supplies to China, without taking into account delivery times, customs formalities or possible delays. The result ? Thousands of Algerian students find themselves without textbooks, notebooks, and essential supplies to start the school year.

Parents, teachers and students are naturally exasperated by this incredible situation. Social networks are full of sarcastic comments and mocking memes regarding this “brilliant” back-to-school management. Some even wonder if Algeria has decided to innovate by introducing a new form of education: learning by contemplating the empty walls of the school!…

Meanwhile, military junta officials seem to be lost in a maze of convoluted justifications, attempting to shift blame to third parties and downplay their own negligence. But it is difficult to hide the absurdity of the situation: the start of the school year is on stand-by, because we forgot to do our homework, literally!…

This is a bitter lesson for those who hoped that Algeria would move towards better management of its education system. Instead, we are treated to a Kafkaesque farce, a comedy of the absurd that leaves students and their families perplexed. Let’s hope that this situation serves as a scathing reminder to the Algerian military junta to take its responsibilities seriously, because the education of youth must not be the scene of such nonsense!…
