The Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Chakib Benmoussa, said Monday in Rabat that the ministry is working to reduce the school drop-out rate by almost a third by 2026.
In response to an oral question in the House of Representatives, Benmoussa assured that the ministry takes this issue very seriously and considers that the generalization of pre-school education contributes to improving student performance and reducing early school wastage, stressing that the expansion of schooling through community schools and social support services such as school transport is an important means of curbing this phenomenon.
The minister recalled that the number of pre-school classes in the Kingdom currently stands at nearly 30,000, which will increase to 7,000 in 2019, noting that a budget of 1.5 billion dirhams has been mobilized for this operation.
