Abstract

This research paper discusses the reality of educational policy in its aspect related to  educational foresight planning, in order to identify the mechanisms used to confront crises in the event of their occurrence, after the world witnessed the closure and suspension of various life activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Algeria, as a country with its own educational policy, was forced to implement emergency decisions that were not previously planned, which caused a shock in the educational community and imposed an unusual situation. Therefore, this research aims to identify the ways that educational planning can adopt to confront future sudden crises through an analytical and descriptive approach to the concept of proactive educational planning in times of crisis.
