Education authorities in Morocco’s northern province of Tetouan have suspended classes at all public and private schools on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13–14, due to expected severe weather.
In a statement issued Thursday, the provincial directorate of the Ministry of National Education, Preschool Education and Sports said the decision applies to all educational institutions across the province, including public and private schools.
The suspension follows a weather warning issued earlier in the day forecasting heavy and sometimes thundery rainfall, along with strong wind gusts. Authorities cited the condition of riverbeds in the province and Tetouan’s mountainous terrain as factors increasing the risk posed by the expected weather.
The directorate said the measure was taken in line with recommendations from the provincial monitoring and alert committee and aims to ensure the safety of students, teachers and administrative staff.
Morocco’s weather agency has placed several northern provinces under heightened alert as the country braces for renewed weather disturbances.
