Aziz Belhassan, the official in charge of managing the Provincial Directorate of Education in Sidi Kacem, confirmed to SNRTnews the decision on Friday, outlining a series of measures adopted to ensure pedagogical continuity and safeguard instructional time.
Among the key steps taken was the integration of students displaced by the floods into schools near their temporary accommodation sites. In coordination with local authorities, more than 90 students from the “Espace La Samir” shelter were transferred to Colonel Allam Primary School and Ibn Rochd Middle School to continue their studies.
Belhassan noted that distance learning was also activated through the TelmidTice digital platform, alongside the provision of educational, psychological, and social support for affected students. He stressed that missed lessons will be made up once students return to their original classrooms.
The provincial education official highlighted a noticeable improvement in the condition of schools after the recent severe weather. Efforts are underway to rehabilitate institutions damaged by flooding, in coordination with provincial and local authorities, whose intervention he praised during what he described as a critical period.
All schools in the province had suspended classes last week as a preventive measure, based on recommendations from the local monitoring committee and in full coordination with provincial authorities and the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Regional Academy of Education and Training. The reopening is now being carried out gradually as conditions stabilize.
Authorities in Sidi Slimane have launched an emergency education plan to ensure that students affected by recent floods can resume their studies after their schools were rendered inaccessible by rising waters.
The Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports has redistributed approximately 400 students whose schools were flooded, assigning them to five host institutions — including one primary school, three middle schools, and one high school — as well as two boarding facilities to accommodate those in need of housing.
