appel à recueillir les informations auprès des sources officielles
Summary of the Statement from the Ministry of National Education in Algeria
On Thursday, Algeria’s Ministry of National Education issued a statement urging the public to avoid falling for misleading information circulated on social media regarding the announcements of baccalaureate exam results. The Ministry emphasized that information should only be verified through official sources.
Concerns About Misinformation
The Ministry expressed disappointment over the rise in the distribution of false and misleading information, particularly concerning the Brevet d’enseignement moyen (BEM) and baccalaureate exams. This misinformation has negatively impacted students and their families, creating unnecessary stress and confusion. Among the concerning practices noted were the sharing of fictitious dates for result announcements, inaccurate success rates, and the names of non-existent laureates. These claims have arisen without any official announcements from the Ministry.
Furthermore, the Ministry highlighted recurrent attempts to spread rumors regarding the correction process and the activities at correction centers. Such misleading actions often stem from anonymous pages or accounts looking to increase their follower count; these actions exploit the anxiety surrounding exam results for personal gain or to sow confusion.
Call for Vigilance
In light of these issues, the Ministry called on society members, especially students and their parents, to remain vigilant and resist the temptation to believe in false information. They stressed the importance of promoting a calm environment, recommending that the public gather information only from verified sources, namely the official Ministry of Education website, its official Facebook page, and its account on X (formerly Twitter).
Additionally, staff members in educational correction centers are reminded to uphold their professional responsibilities by refraining from sharing images or information on social media, which contradicts their official duties.
Strict Guidelines and Warning Against Misinformation
The Ministry firmly stated that neither individuals nor any organization has the right to publish information or images related to the correction process or the announcement of results without authorization. Official declarations concerning results, success rates, or winner lists are under the sole jurisdiction of the Minister of National Education, according to applicable regulations.
The Ministry urged a sense of civic responsibility and cautioned against disseminating content from unverified or dubious sources. They reserved the right to take legal action against anyone participating in the spread of false information that could damage the public interest and the reputation of the education sector.
Conclusion
In closing, the Ministry called on everyone—individuals and institutions alike—to contribute to establishing a culture of reliable information and to preserve the credibility of Armenian education, thereby supporting students and their families. They acknowledged the significant efforts of all stakeholders involved in ensuring the success of this crucial educational phase.
