Rabat – A Moroccan teacher has come forward with serious allegations against her school director, accusing him of pressuring her to commit academic fraud and threatening her after she refused.
In a video circulating on social media, the teacher recounts being asked to falsify students’ grades for individuals who had not submitted their work.
“I have text messages where he asks me to forge, because indeed this is forgery, by entering marks for students that I do not have and who have not submitted their papers,” she said.
She explained that the request was first made over a phone call. “The director called me and tried to convince me at first, but I did not agree and totally rejected his request,” she said.
“He ended the call by saying that I should come to the school and enter the marks, and added, ‘I will surprise you and do something you will not like.’ Frankly, when he said that, I was terrified and he really scared me.”
The teacher also described feeling isolated and unsafe in her workplace.
According to her, the school is now devoid of students and staff, forcing her to take unusual measures to protect herself.
“What made it worse is that the school is now empty, no teachers, no students. I am obliged to come accompanied by a judicial officer to document my presence,” she said.
“Is it rational that I, as a teacher, come here every day and sit here just so the director does not do something that could harm me?” she asked. “In addition, he has previously denied receiving documents that prove my absence.”
In the same video, the teacher criticized what she described as a lack of institutional safeguards for educators in Morocco. “We, as teachers, are not protected. The law must change this,” she said. “There must be real accountability and protection for us.”
The teacher’s account has sparked outrage online, with many users calling for an investigation into the conduct of the school’s administration.
At the time of writing, education authorities have not released an official statement on the matter.
