Abstract

Education is becoming more and more important not only for the development of one’s personality but also for the sustained growth of nations mainly in the age of globalisation as information is universally shared. The impact of globalization on education in the contemporary time has emerged as a subject of continuous debate and discourse. This paper focuses on the impact of globalization in the domain of higher education wide world since it drives changes in education systems towards wider global perspectives. It specifically reviews how the phenomenon of globalization is affecting educational policy and planning in the Algerian universities and thereby influencing how such segment of education might be restructured to satisfy learners’ and educators’ hopes and desires for an ideal future as being more imaginative, innovative, and widely responsive to ideas, experiences, feelings, emotions, and most importantly open on intercultural and mutual cooperation in a globalized world. In short this study addresses the impact of globalisation on higher education in Algeria, and sheds light on the overall reforms adopted so far by the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to cope with the urgent need for globalisation. The most prominent of these reforms is the LMD ( License, Master ,Doctorate) System that came to cut ties with the so called Classical System that kept Algerian universities in backwardness for more than 50 years. It also analyses the challenges and obstacles that hinder the Algerian universities from becoming more competitive and profitable globally. It finally ends up by providing some recommendations to better benefit from the fruits of globalisation by sharing the ever-increasing excellence in teaching within the integrated knowledge-driven world community.
