Wednesday 11 January 2023 - 20:02

France is still a preferred academic destination for more than half of international Moroccan students, according to recent figures issued by the “Erudera” platform.

United States of America universities came as the second destination for Moroccan higher education students, after 1,466 Moroccans chose the United States as a destination for study in the past academic year, according to the same data source.

Universities and institutes of the United Kingdom came in third and attracted 1,265 Moroccan students enrolled in various British universities.

These statistics concern the higher education sector in the Kingdom for the year 2021, and according to data obtained by Hespress AR from “the first educational research platform in the world supported by artificial intelligence,” the latest statistics showed that “about 60,000 Moroccan students studied abroad by the last academic year” (ie 2021-2022).

More than half of the students, about 33,000 international Moroccan students, were studying in France during the last university season.
‌On the other hand, Morocco’s popularity as a destination for remote students in the world has risen in recent years, according to the global educational platform, before it was explained as “the result of certain government policies.”

The enrollment of incoming international students also increased by 143 percent between 2013 and 2020.”
