In a press release issued today, the National Observatory for Education and Training System in Morocco expressed deep concern over the ongoing disruptions and strikes in the medical education sector, which have persisted for eight months. These protests have led to the boycott of examinations and clinical training across all medical and pharmacy schools in the kingdom.
The Observatory acknowledged the state of anxiety and tension prevalent among students, their families, professors, and administrators, attributing responsibility to all parties that have contributed to exacerbating the situation. It also expressed regret over the failure of dialogue between student representatives and the higher education sector.
The statement warned of the serious negative repercussions of this crisis on the future of education and research in medical schools, as well as on the international standing of Moroccan higher education. It also highlighted the psychological and social impact on students and their families.
The Observatory called on students to conduct an objective evaluation of the mistakes that accompanied the protests and to engage in constructive dialogue. It also appealed to research professors to continue their unified work and adhere to the sector’s governing laws.
In conclusion, the Observatory addressed an urgent appeal to the Prime Minister to intervene immediately to end this congestion and save the academic year. It proposed making up for missed lessons and clinical training during the period from September to November 2024, along with conducting examinations.
This call comes as part of the effort to ensure the continuity of medical education in Morocco, which is considered a fundamental pillar in the social protection system advocated by King Mohammed VI.
The statement, dated August 1, 2024, was signed by the Observatory’s President, Mohamed Derouich, emphasizing the importance of true citizenship based on the principles of rights and duties.
