Rabat – Morocco’s Ministry of National Education, Preschool, and Sports has launched a new platform as part of its work to reform public schools.
“Madrastna,” the newly launched platform, is accessible to all, and seeks to collect Moroccans’ opinions and suggestions on ways to improve the Moroccan educational system. In a statement, the ministry noted that citizens can take part in a nationwide consultation to improve public schools by filling out a form on the new platform.
The ministry also called for wide-spreading access to the form with all stakeholders, associations of parents, students’ guardians, and everyone involved in the education ecosystem with an aim of actively contributing to the reform of Moroccan public schools.
It said the platform is part of Morocco’s efforts to provide quality education, boost students’ innovation, and enhance their skills to enable them to enter the job market.
The country has also launched an online platform to accompany Moroccan students returning from Ukraine, by giving them access to documents related to their studies in Ukrainian universities.
Moroccans were the second-largest community of international students in Ukraine but over 8000 Moroccan students left the country after Russia’s invasion in late February.
Upon returning from Ukraine, Moroccan students have been facing significant challenges and the education ministry has also been exploring ways to integrate them within Moroccan public universities.
Morocco has also expressed readiness to cooperate with international organizations such as UNESCO and work toward achieving Goal 4 of the UN’s sustainable development program (SDGs).
The SDG4 seeks to achieve quality education worldwide, with a mission of “ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
Despite constant efforts to improve education across the country, a recent report from the Moroccan Association for the Improvement of the Quality of Education (AMAQUEN) has found that most students in secondary school “do not deserve” to progress further in the education system.
