Moroccan women are making notable strides in education and digital connectivity, according to a recent Afrobarometer survey. The findings indicate that a substantial 57% of women have attained secondary or higher education, with an additional 24% holding primary education qualifications. Only about 18% of women remain illiterate.

Furthermore, the survey highlights a significant digital engagement among younger women. Specifically, 81% of women between the ages of 18 and 35 are digitally connected. This suggests a strong adoption of technology within this demographic, though it may also point to a widening digital gap compared to older generations who may have less access or familiarity with digital tools.

The report, published by Afrobarometer, underscores a positive trend in female empowerment through education and technology, reflecting broader societal shifts and increased opportunities within Morocco.
