Education in Morocco
It was in the year 1963 that education was made compulsory for all Moroccan children between
the ages of 6 through 13, and during this time, all subjects were Arabized in the first and second
grades, while French was maintained as the language of instruction for mathematics and science
in both primary and secondary levels. Later, to meet the rising demand for secondary education
in the 1970s, Morocco imported French-speaking teachers from countries such as France,
Romania, and Bulgaria to teach mathematics and sciences and Arab teachers to teach
humanities and social studies. By 1989, the Arabization of all subjects across all grades in both
primary and secondary education was accomplished. However, French has maintained the
medium of instruction for scientific subjects in technical and professional secondary schools,
technical institutes, and universities.
The education system in Morocco is composed of preschool, primary, secondary, and tertiary
levels. Government efforts to increase the availability of education services have led to
increased access at all levels of education. Morocco’s education system consists of 6 years of
primary, three years of lower-middle / intermediate school, three years of upper secondary, and
tertiary education. The education system in Morocco is under the preview of the Ministry of
National Education (MNE) and the Ministry of Higher Education and Executive Training. The
Ministry of National Education decentralized its functions to regional levels created in 1999
when 72 provinces were subsumed into 16 regional administrative units. Then the responsibility
for the provision of education services has been slowly devolving to the regional level. This
decentralization process will ensure that education programs are responsive to regional needs
and the budget is administered locally. Each region has a Regional Academy for Education and
Training and a regional director who is senior to provincial delegates within the region. The
regional academies will also be responsible for developing 30 percent of the curriculum so
that it is locally relevant. The central level of the MNE continues to manage the other 70
percent. Also, the Delegations are charged with providing services for education in their
regions.
