Abdellatif Miraoui, Morocco’s Minister of Higher Education, announced yesterday major decisions on the pedagogical reform, which will be implemented gradually, starting from 2023.
These decisions include implementing language tests across Morocco’s public universities, to determine the student’s language level in both French and English.
“The student’s level in languages will progress through our high-quality courses and resources made available, once the student’s language level is determined: B1, B2, or maybe C1,” he explained.
The Minister of Higher Education said, in a press conference, on Tuesday, that the aim of this measure “is to help Moroccan graduates to find better job opportunities in the future, and contribute to attracting foreign investments to the Kingdom.”
The new measures will also include several mechanisms related to the improvement of the studies’ quality in order to empower Moroccan students and enhance their sense of entrepreneurship.
“We want our students to speak French, Arabic, English, and other languages for those who can, and this new reform will enable them to learn and master several languages by the end of their studies,” he noted.
As for those who want to pursue their PhD studies, Miraoui pointed out that as part of their higher education study program, students must pass TOEFL or DALF tests, which are internationally recognized qualifications.
In addition, the minister announced the creation of the “212 schools” soon, which is a coding school aiming to “give an opportunity to all those who wish to learn to code, since it can be a good career for many professionals.”
“The execution of this project will be done gradually (…) in order to give hope to those who have chosen to continue their studies in public Moroccan universities,” he said.
According to the minister, new courses will be introduced or restructured. The new reform will train students to specialize in required disciplines, whether in the public or private sectors, such as strategic studies, diplomacy, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development, which would eventually meet Morocco’s labor market demands.
