North African educational reforms and logistical challenges

Overview

In Morocco, the Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Mohammed Saad Berrada, announced measures to reduce overcrowding in primary and preparatory schools through improved school mapping and infrastructure. The ministry is also focusing on preschool quality, school transport expansion, and addressing teacher shortages.

Simultaneously, in Tunisia, the General Secondary Education Union has called for a boycott of a new Ministry of Education digital platform for student registration, citing technical unreadiness. The union also noted logistical challenges, including shortages of administrative and teaching staff, which may disrupt the mid-September return to school.
