Within the scope of volunteer activities and the national afforestation and coastal cleanliness campaign, the Subdirectorate of Activities organized a campaign that encompassed: vast afforestation operation, nurturing of trees, and cleanliness campaign and tidying within the surroundings of the coast. In this endeavor, external security personnel participated as part of the sterilization operations conducted by the local task force responsible for monitoring the progress of the 2022/2021 academic year amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The General Secretariat (Subdirectorate of Activities, Subdirectorate of Public Resources, Security Department) executed sterilization operations for various pedagogical and administrative facilities. Moreover, participating in the sterilization operations were the National Voice of Algerian Students (VNEA), the National Organization of Free Students (Onel), and the Private Security Company (S3P3).
