The Arab Barometer network, which specializes in regional field research, indicated that 55% of Moroccans feel the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on education.
The recent poll report that spans the entire Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) saw 45% of respondents feel the Moroccan educational sector is in “good to very good condition,” while the majority disagrees.
According to the results of the survey, 76% of Moroccan citizens said that COVID-19 has had a significant or moderate impact on children’s education, be it good or bad. 92% of respondents in Jordan agree, while 74% in Tunisia.
The report additionally found that 24% of Moroccan citizens said that disrupting the education of their children was the biggest challenge caused by the pandemic. This percentage continued to rise across the MENA region, reaching 36% in Libya, 30% in Jordan, 25% in Iraq, and 25% in Algeria.
The education sector ranks second as a preferred priority for government spending in Morocco, as the health sector ranked first.
Surprisingly, 26% of surveyed Moroccans agreed that higher education is more important for men than for women, which was a regional sentiment, considering that a quarter of MENA citizens stated that university education is more important for males than for females.
20% of Moroccans also pointed to educational reforms as the main gateway to improving economic conditions, while 20% responded that their primary reason for considering immigration was to pursue better academic opportunities and environments.
