A worrying incident occurred this Tuesday, April 22, 2025 in El Msabhia primary school, located in the Souk Djedid delegation in Sidi Bouzid. Two students were injured as a result of the partial collapse of a wall belonging to the establishment’s sanitary block.
According to the first information communicated by the regional commissioner of education, Mourad Zouaghi at the TAP agency, the facts took place while the two children were near the Lavabos block to quench their thirst. It was then that a wall suddenly collapsed, injuring a schoolgirl and causing trauma to another student.
The injured were immediately taken care of and transported to local hospital. According to educational authorities, their condition is currently stationary and has no vital danger. A delegation from the regional education police station went to their bedside.
In the wake of the accident, an inspection technical team was dispatched to the site to assess the exact causes of the collapse and determine any responsibilities.
This incident once again puts the question of the question of the dilapidation of numerous school infrastructure in certain regions of the country in the scene, and especially in rural areas, especially after the accident of April 14th when the collapse of a dilapidated wall of the Mazzouna secondary school resulted in the death of three students and injured two others.
Another incident yesterday rocked the higher education sector. Part of the ceiling of a course room from the Siliana Higher Institute of Technological Studies (ISET) collapsed at the end of the day. Fortunately, no one injured is to be deplored.
Despite today’s accident in Sidi Bouzid, the authorities said that the courses are normally continuing in the establishment. All necessary measures have been taken to guarantee the safety of students and educational staff, pending the results of the technical survey.
