AJI - Gestion pour l'éducation

What AJI - Gestion pour l'éducation does

AJI - Gestion pour l'éducation is a French non-profit professional association founded in 1989 in Nice, serving administrative staff of French public secondary schools (EPLE — Établissements Publics Locaux d'Enseignement). It federates more than 6,000 of the country's approximately 7,800 EPLE, representing roughly 77% market penetration among Secrétaires Généraux and Agents Comptables responsible for financial, procurement, HR, catering, and maintenance management. Its core editorial product is the bimonthly 'Revue Intendance', published since 1993 (199 issues through 2026), offered either standalone at €75/year or bundled with full digital access at €140/year.

The association's technology platform consists of eleven specialized web-based e-services covering public procurement (AJI-Planning, AJI-Groupement, AJI-Mapa, AJI-Choix), maintenance management (AJI-Maintenance), human resources reporting (AJI-Bilan Social), travel (AJI-Déplacement), contracts (AJI-Contrat), corporate social responsibility (AJI-RSE), document library (AJI-Ressources), and institutional meeting management (AJI-Instance). The AJI-Mapa buyer profile alone processes approximately 15,000 MAPA (adapted public procurement procedure) publications annually. A new platform, 'AJI Tendances Éducation', extends the association's reach to teachers and principals with quizzes and reference resources.

AJI monetizes primarily through annual membership subscriptions, magazine subscriptions, fee-based professional accompaniment services (audits, management reviews, customized assistance for establishments and territorial authorities), and events including the annual 'Rencontres de l'Intendance' conference held in Paris. Distribution is largely self-serve through the website compte.aji-france.com and direct at flagship in-person events. A mutual partnership with Restau'co embeds all member EPLE into the French collective catering interprofessional network. The association is governed by a 28-member Board of Directors, with a new presidency led by Latifa NOUMANE elected in June 2026 for the 2026-2029 mandate.

Broad incumbents

• ONISEP: French public operator providing education, training, and career information. Adjacent to AJI in serving the school community with publications, resources, and guidance services at a national scale.
• Réseau Canopé: Public national network for educational resources and teacher professional development under the Ministry of Education. Operates in a broader educational ecosystem with overlapping content, training, and event functions for school personnel.

Direct peers

• Skolengo: Digital workspace for French schools offering integrated tools for administration, pedagogy, and family communication. Directly comparable to AJI's e-services suite, but delivered as a single unified platform rather than 11 separate tools.
• EdTech France: Industry association representing French education technology companies. Directly comparable to AJI as a membership-based organization, but focused on EdTech providers rather than school administrators.
• Pronote (Index Éducation): School management software used by the majority of French secondary schools. Competes with AJI for the administrative workflow of EPLE, and is often the default platform chosen by regional collectivities at the territory level.

Others

• CNED (Centre national d'enseignement à distance): French national distance-learning public institution. Operates in the same public-education ecosystem as AJI and serves overlapping institutions, though its core business is instructional delivery rather than administration.
• Hachette Éducation: Major French educational publisher producing textbooks and teacher resources. Comparable to AJI's publishing arm (Revue Intendance) in serving the French school community with content products, though at a different scale and segment.
• MGEL (Mutuelle Générale de l'Éducation Nationale): Mutual benefit organization serving education sector personnel with insurance, housing, and services. Operates in the same member-driven ecosystem as AJI, serving overlapping administrative and teaching staff with subscription-based offerings.
• France Éducation International: Public operator under the Ministry of Education focused on education internationalization, language certification, and mobility programs. Adjacent public-sector actor serving French educational institutions and their administrative staff.

Regional players

• La Ligue de l'enseignement: Large French secular association federating territorial associations that support education, culture, and youth activities. Operates as a national membership organization with similar federated-correspondent structure, though serving a broader civic mission than AJI's administrator focus.
