Abstract: I choose to discuss the French and the Algerian system of education because I believe the French one is complex, very organized, with many subdivisions. I think it influences a large part of the world’s education systems, including the Algerian because of the colonialism. I see the French system of education like an extension of its model of governance. France was a strong colonial empire, a global superpower and now it is still a powerful state which influences the most of the international actors, so its educational system should be as important as the power of its government.Algeria, in French, the Republique Algerienne Democratique et Populaire is an authoritarian regime. Algeria was occupied first by the Phoenicians, then by the Ottomans and in 1830 by the French. Between 1830 and 1962, when Algeria achieved its independence, it was under French occupation. Algeria is currently political unstable, but the state had various unstable moments in its history, an example was in 1954, when it was a war of independence in Algeria, which ended up only in 1962.
