Beyond the School Gate: A Study on the Evolving Role of Algerian Mothers

The area outside school gates has become a social hub capturing the daily challenges of parenting. Researcher Malika Kasdi highlights this in her new book, 'Tales of Mothers at the School Gate,' featured at the International Book Fair. The work portrays mothers not merely as observers, but as active participants in their children's education, grappling with curriculum demands and learning difficulties. Clinical psychologist Messaoud Ben Halima explains that this phenomenon stems from both security concerns and parental dedication, while warning that home-based education should not overwhelm the family. He advocates for a stronger partnership between schools and parents, emphasizing that the environment outside the school serves as a crucial lesson in citizenship for children, where collective responsibility and professional support are key to successful development.
