The region’s council said: this project follows “Morocco’s policy to foster receptivity towards foreign languages and Anglo-Saxon culture […] English is the language of economy, science, industry, tourism and international relations.
The source asserted that “the program will include 64 beneficiaries annually, who will receive an [accredited] and qualified certificate.”
The same source added that approximately 180 linguisticoffices will be constructed on the campuses of the institutions and associations.
This project will also create approximately 450 job opportunities for the youth of the region, especially those with a BA in English studies, who will be trained under the supervision of distinguished American professors.
The regional council of Drâa-Tafilalet is planning to launch exchange programs for the region’s students in partnership with states of Michigan and South Carolina in order to enhance their language and cultural knowledge.
