TLDR

  • The Oriental region in Morocco has seen an increase in school enrollment and educational infrastructure development between 2022 and 2026.
  • Key achievements include the establishment of new educational institutions, expansion of classrooms, and a reduction in overcrowding.
  • Efforts to generalize early childhood education and provide social support, such as school transportation, have also shown positive results.

The Oriental region of Morocco is demonstrating significant progress in its educational sector, as highlighted by the Regional Academy of Education and Training's recent forum. The roadmap for 2022-2026 has yielded tangible results, showcasing a commitment to enhancing public schooling.

The data presented reveals a substantial expansion of educational offerings, with 75 new schools and 736 additional classrooms created. This has directly contributed to a notable decrease in class overcrowding, particularly in middle and high school levels. Furthermore, the push to universalize pre-school education is gaining momentum, with enrollment rates climbing steadily.

Beyond infrastructure, the region is also focusing on accessibility and support. The addition of 180 new school buses has benefited nearly 50,000 students, and new boarding facilities have been established. The reduction in the number of students at risk of dropping out is a crucial indicator of the success of these social support measures. The Academy's director, Mounia Mozouri, emphasized that the true measure of reform lies not in reports, but in the daily experience of students, their confidence, and their desire to continue learning. This focus on the student's lived experience, and the commitment to transforming central strategies into effective classroom practices, positions the Oriental region as a potential model for educational reform in Morocco.
