EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the School for Girls in Oran, Algeria during the 1910s. The image transports us back to an era of colonial rule, where European education was being imparted to the local girls. The girls, dressed in their neatly pressed uniforms, are seen seated at long wooden tables, engrossed in their studies. Their attentive expressions and focused demeanor reflect the importance placed on education during this period. The classroom, filled with natural light filtering in through the large windows, is adorned with maps of the world and other educational posters on the walls. A blackboard at the front of the room displays mathematical equations, reflecting the curriculum being taught. The girls' desks are arranged in neat rows, each one equipped with a slate and chalk for writing. Outside the classroom, the bustling streets of Oran can be heard through the open windows, a reminder of the vibrant and diverse world beyond the confines of the school. The girls, however, remain undisturbed, fully immersed in their studies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of young girls in Oran during the colonial era, highlighting their determination to receive an education despite the challenges they faced. It is a testament to the enduring power of education and the importance of providing opportunities for girls to learn and grow.
