Covid-19 and new roles allocated to the Algerian University

Abstract

Too long eccentric and marginalized in relation to the society for which it should work primary, the Algerian university, found itself due to the suddenness and the magnitude of the Covid-19 pandemic, very destitute, almost without means and without strategies to deal with it. His total dependence on supervision in the decision-making for solidarity networking, the mobilization of his staff and students, scientific expertise, the proposal of solutions and in his own support period, really disqualified him. In fact, we were interested in the possible operating methods of this institutions, real social locomotive in times of crisis, especially health crises, as we know by calling on teachers, students and administrative officials at two large universities : Algiers 2 and Constantine 2 and a few health professionals- doctors and psychologists. The results indicated the revisions of its intellectual paradigms and its missions.
