I Am Algerian

People have funny ideas about my country. They think it’s like Iran. But it so isn’t! It’s so lovely. And we live in Africa. But we have snow in winter. A lot where I live! And we have school and college.

Most people don't look too deep. The historical French influence probably helped in that last regard i expect. You learn French in school as well right? :)

@Axelerator Multilingualism always existed in Algeria.

@Miram Oh i wasn't suggesting that the French control was all good, just that they might have had schools erected.

@Axelerator Only genius level students were allowed in schools past sixth primary level. That means by the age of twelve, most were not registered at any educational institution. Colonialism held the country back in all aspects of life.
