Popis: The Column Generation Algorithm (CGA) is commonly cited in the bibliography as alternative to solve large scale optimization problems. This article deals with the description of the GC algorithm in the context of the student assignation to the public schools. Some of the wea�nesses and shortcomings encountered in the implementation and application to a real problem are discussed and some strategies to sort it out are presented. This work pointed out how the CGA could be used within a general Branch and Price procedure to solve problems with additional constrains.
