Moroccan authorities are working to ensure that students displaced by flooding in the city of Ksar el Kebir can resume classes in host cities, particularly Tangier and Asilah, officials told Hespress AR.

According to the sources, students who fled with their families after severe flooding will be enrolled in schools based on their grade levels. Host institutions have been instructed to provide appropriate conditions to ensure continuity of learning throughout the emergency period.

Efforts are also underway to integrate displaced students into schools in Larache, Tetouan, Fnideq, M’diq and Martil, where families have temporarily relocated to escape rising floodwaters.

Ksar el Kebir has around 35,000 students across all education levels. Authorities say places will be secured for them in public schools in the affected region, while private schools have also been asked to take in a number of displaced pupils.

Local authorities ordered the full evacuation of Ksar el Kebir as a precautionary measure to prevent loss of life, amid continued flood risks threatening multiple neighborhoods.
