Logistical and policy challenges in Morocco and Tunisia

Overview

In Morocco, the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports, led by Mohammed Saad Berrada, has been working to reduce overcrowding through improved school mapping and infrastructure. However, the start of the academic season has seen new strains on resources due to the return of thousands of students who had previously dropped out. While reintegration is viewed as a method to combat dropout rates, some families and educators have raised concerns regarding the behavioral impact of integrating students who previously faced disciplinary issues. There are calls for robust social and educational support mechanisms rather than simple reintegration.

In Tunisia, following earlier warnings from the General Secondary Education Union regarding digital platform readiness and staff shortages, the Ministry of Education has introduced new safety measures. Effective from October, a new policy will prevent students from leaving school premises during school hours. Nadia Ayari, Director General of the Primary Stage, stated that the rule requires students to remain on school grounds during gaps between classes or during teacher absences. The ministry plans to use available school spaces to supervise students during these periods, particularly to protect those living far from their schools.
