Moroccan employees protest high university fees for part time studies

Moroccan employees have voiced concern over what they describe as exorbitant university fees for part time studies, warning that the problem will worsen with the planned generalization of such costs.

They argue that these financial burdens threaten their constitutional and international right to pursue higher education.

According to union representatives, annual fees reaching 16,000 dirhams exclude many workers from continuing their studies.

Mustapha El Bahy, member of the National Union for Administrative Reform, told Hespress that employees turn to education to enhance skills and improve public administration, stressing that institutions should bear the costs.

He criticized the lack of real support, noting that most workers are granted only one or two hours a day for study, and called for partnerships between administrations and universities.
