Rabat:In a recent inaugural lecture at the Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences in Agdal for the 2026-2027 academic year, an education official, Hachoumi, emphasized the importance of reinforcing trust in Moroccan public schools. He highlighted that achieving equity necessitates the effective implementation of constitutional rights, noting that equal opportunities require more than uniform examinations. Instead, they demand fair learning conditions and resources starting from preschool, considering regional disparities that affect some students' educational paths.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Hachoumi underscored the significant expansion in preschool education under the care of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, with enrolment rising from 49.6% in the 2017-2018 school year to 82.3% in the current year. He praised the National Initiative for Human Development for its efforts in constructing and equipping classrooms in rural and mountainous areas and acknowledged the role of partner institutions in managing preschool facilities.
The official also addressed the government's goal to eradicate school dropouts by 2030 and called for the activation of monitoring units under Framework Law No. 51.17 to identify risks early. He stressed the importance of adapting programs for children with disabilities to prevent exclusion. Hachoumi referenced successful international examples, like Finland's individualized plans and reduced homework, as well as Portugal and Ireland's strategies to lower dropout rates through support for disadvantaged schools and enhanced communication between educational stakeholders.
In conclusion, Hachoumi highlighted the government's dedication to improving teachers' social conditions through dialogue, stating that restoring trust in public schools hinges on the full commitment of teaching staff as essential participants in the educational process.
