Educational policy in Algeria: the incessant improbable quest for quality

Abstract EN

This article addresses the topic of quality education in Algeria and in the world at large.

It endeavors to find out what quality education is and if it is ever achievable.

The article argues that the notion is a misconception and a losing battle, as the true goal of its godfathers is completely at odds with their stated claims.

The article in no way denies the existence of quality but simply recommends that countries, such as Algeria, aspiring to improve the performance of their education should follow their own path, taking into account their realities, their potential and their goals, and not blindly emulate the experiences of other nations.
