Hobbies For Pre-Teens/Teens In Algeria

Some hobbies for pre teens/ teens are mostly going to school like us kids here but not all of the population of algerian teens attend school. Teens usually go to school, with 9 years of primary school, 6 hours a day. You can go to secondary school but most teens don't so they can learn trades and go to another school, vocational school. They attend that for 4 years. To go to college you must pass a test. So teens in Algeria are like us teens. “Only 12% of Algerian children attend school (some are muslim).”

Pre Teen Social Life Algerian teen social life is not as social as our teen social life. Teens were separated so they didn't really have a social life. The only way you were communicating with another person was through kinship ties. The barber groups were not organized, they were democratic and egalitarian and they were run by adult males.
