Parents Protest Student Relocation Amid Overcrowding at Oulad Tayeb School

On January 3, 2025, tensions ran high at Oulad Tayeb Lower School as parents firmly opposed the decision to temporarily relocate their children to schools in Fez to address severe overcrowding at the institution. While officials proposed this measure to alleviate pressure on the school, it was met with widespread rejection, with parents citing potential disruptions to their children’s education and psychological well-being.

The triple-shift schedule introduced this academic year as a temporary solution to overcrowding has failed to assuage parents’ concerns. Many argue that transferring students to schools in Fez is impractical due to the significant distance involved and the likely negative impact on academic performance.

Parents have demanded that their children remain at Oulad Tayeb School for the rest of the academic year, even if it means continuing with the triple-shift system. They also called on authorities to implement long-term and sustainable solutions to the overcrowding issue rather than relying on temporary fixes that could exacerbate educational and social challenges.
