The ministry of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) signed, Thursday in Rabat, a framework partnership agreement to support the integration of refugees in the national education system.
Signed by minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, government spokesperson, Saaid Amzazi, and UNHCR representative in Morocco, François Reybet-Degat, this agreement aims to implement joint actions to facilitate the integration of refugees and migrants in Morocco and their children in the national education system.
It also provides for their training in the Arabic language and Moroccan culture and their participation in various cultural, sports and linguistic activities.
The national strategy for immigration and asylum was established in Morocco in 2014, resolutely humanistic, coherent and comprehensive, in order to facilitate the integration of immigrants and refugees, upgrade the regulatory framework governing their presence on Moroccan soil, put in place an institutional framework suitable for these populations and manage migration flows in respect of human rights, said Amzazi on this occasion.
At a time when many countries in the North are locking their borders and tightening procedures for the regularization of migrants and refugees, Morocco, true to its values of universalism, has opted for a different policy, based on South-South solidarity, which has earned it the recognition of the international community that also considers that our national model, wisely led by His Majesty the King, deserves to be reproduced elsewhere, he added.
This framework partnership agreement consists in setting up joint actions in order to facilitate the access of refugees living in our country to Moroccan services of preschool, primary, secondary, higher education and vocational training, noted the minister.
For his part, François Reybet-Degat said that this partnership agreement is part of a national policy of emigration, inclusive asylum based on human and integration of immigrants and refugees in school education systems.
