Morocco’s National Office for University, Social and Cultural Works said it will begin paying the second instalment of university grants earlier than usual, timed with the first days of Ramadan, benefiting about 400,000 students with a budget envelope exceeding 62.7 billion centimes, an official source said.
The source said the decision followed a meeting on Tuesday between Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Minister Azzedine Midaoui and the office director, where the minister called for immediate disbursement in the first days of the fasting month and ruled out delays, urging services to accelerate administrative and financial procedures to meet deadlines.
The second tranche is typically paid in March or, at the latest, April, the source said. A Hespress source said the office has intensified preparations in recent weeks, with the director holding coordination meetings, including with the ministry delegate in charge of the budget, to speed up fund transfers and ensure smooth execution.
