Algeria establishes a training school
After months of intense cooperation between the Algerian national chamber of judicial officers, the National Procedural School and the UIHJ, our Algerian colleagues have just established their own training service on 2 June 2005.
This is the Ecole Algérienne de procédure (EAP) (Algerian Procedural School), which will be an independent organisation reporting into the national chamber and with an elected board of management. The School will provide appropriate training to trainee employees and permanent training to judicial officers.
The board of management will control the curriculum and organisation of the conference centre.
The board of management will determine the training programmes, will appoint the School's employees responsible for education, will provide written support documents and will organise the training of the training staff.
The EAP will be a mandatory course for all Algerian judicial officers, who will then be required to take obligatory training classes, with disciplinary action in case of inadequate attendance.
The EAP will be responsible for the preparation of trainees, who may be required to take correspondence courses before receiving a national diploma.
The committee responsible for setting up the EAP and for putting together the act establishing it decided that financing of training would be at the expense of the national chamber.
The EAP will commence operations on 1 January 2006.
The French National Procedural School will bring its expertise and experience to bear in the implementation and operation of the EAP.
The act establishing the Algerian school was signed in Paris on 2 June at the headquarters of the International Union by the chairmen Cherif, Pansard and Isnard, representing respectively the CNHJ of Algeria, the French National Procedural School and the UIHJ.
