The Regional Directorate of National Education in Safi has absolved itself of any involvement in the suicide of a student who was caught cheating on her baccalaureate exams on Monday.
In a clarification received by Hespress, the regional directorate confirmed that the student, who was taking the baccalaureate exam in the arts and humanities division at Moulay Youssef Preparatory High School, “after receiving her in normal conditions like the rest of her classmates and colleagues, and confirming her identity, she started taking the Arabic language exam starting at 8 a.m.”
The Education Prosecution went on to explain that the student who committed suicide was found to be in possession of a mobile phone inside the hall by the head of the center at 10:20 a.m. “The cheating report was written by the invigilators in accordance with the legal and regulatory procedures, as was the case for all cases that were detected during the same morning period.”
The regional directorate defended its actions, stating that “after the cheating reports were written, and after half of the time allocated for the exam, all students who were caught cheating left the exam center under normal conditions, including the student.”
The newspaper tried to contact the regional directorate, as well as the Marrakech-Asfi regional directorate, regarding whether or not they had opened an investigation into the incident, but they were unable to do so.
Officials from the Ministry of National Education, Primary Education and Sports only provided the clarification issued by the regional directorate after contacting the newspaper.
