Environmental Disaster Threatens Health of Students in Al-Marja Neighborhood, Fez

Fez – The vicinity of Al-Sumou Primary School in the Al-Marja neighborhood of Fez is experiencing an environmental situation that can only be described as catastrophic, according to information received by Fez News from its readers. The school has become surrounded by piles of rotting garbage from all sides.

A sprawling landfill has sprung up overnight, encircling the school and preventing any odor other than the foul smells that have choked the students and their teachers, hindering any possibility of normal academic achievement.

Classroom windows overlook horrific scenes accompanied by a stench that defies comprehension. Educational staff have been left with no choice but to wear protective masks due to the intensity of the emissions.

Fez is witnessing this reality at a time when global standards for quality education impose minimum conditions that safeguard the health of students. In the Al-Marja neighborhood of Fez, the students of Al-Sumou School are receiving their education amidst a garbage dump that has overwhelmed their senses, deprived them of any sense of taste and aesthetics, and may even ignite in their developing minds a feeling of aggression and rejection of this miserable reality looming over their classrooms.

What conditions for good academic achievement can our education system rely on in light of this reality? And where are the elected officials of the city of Fez in the face of all these disasters that have marked their zero-experience? Or has the electoral obsession blinded their insights from any roles entrusted to them?
