Wednesday 26 April 2023 - 09:13

The Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation has announced plans to remove the Graduation Research unit from the bachelor’s degree course for students starting in the 2023-2024 academic year in Moroccan universities.

This decision has been authorized by the National Committee for Coordination of Higher Education on April 14, 2023.

According to HespressAR, a Moroccan news outlet, this proposal is part of the Ministry’s new pedagogical strategy, which aims to enhance the degree program in Moroccan universities. In addition to the removal of the graduation research unit, courses will be designed to improve students’ digital and self-advocacy skills, as well as their sense of national identification.

The Ministry of Education has also planned to introduce courses in foreign languages, including French and English, to improve students’ linguistic skills. Students will be required to obtain a foreign language certification to receive their diploma.

HespressAR also reports that a uniform credit system will be implemented, which will allow for the preservation of student grades and improved mobility at the national and international levels.

This initiative is part of the larger effort to reform higher education, scientific research, and innovation in Morocco, in accordance with the national plan to reform bachelor’s and doctoral courses starting from the academic year 2023-2024.
