Abstract

To provide quality education, the education sector in Algeria has undergone several transformations and significant changes since its independence. The current paper aims to explain the current, problematic situation and analyze it through adapting a qualitative approach. The analysis is based on the process of planning and programming of public schools in Algeria, taking as a case study the public primary school of the new city, Ali Mendjeli, in Constantine. The data for this study were collected using a semistructured face-to-face questionnaire, an interview, and a discourse analysis applied to the press documents. The data gathered from the questionnaires were processed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results revealed that the main factors of schools overcrowding in Algeria exist at various levels: strategic, tactical, and operational.
