The Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of National Education, Preschool Education, and Sports in Taounate has categorically denied issuing any official statement regarding the “suspension of classes,” as circulated on some social media pages, stressing that the document being shared has no connection whatsoever with its services and does not reflect any decision issued by the directorate.
Informed sources explained that the statement currently circulating was presented in a manner suggesting it was issued by an official educational authority. However, available information indicates that it did not originate from the Taounate Provincial Directorate, and that linking it to official administrative decisions falls within the category of unverified news that creates confusion among families, students, and educational staff.
The spread of the document coincided with seasonal weather conditions, which contributed to its rapid circulation among citizens, especially as its content alludes to decisions related to safety and mobility. Nevertheless, the directorate, as confirmed, has not issued any official announcement on the matter through its approved channels.
Local stakeholders warned of the dangers of circulating such unreliable “statements,” due to the misinformation and disruption they cause to public services, as well as their direct impact on the organization of schooling and the movement of students and their families. They called for refraining from relying on any news unless it is verified through an official source.
In the same context, the Taounate Provincial Directorate urged citizens to exercise caution and avoid resharing content of unknown origin, and to rely exclusively on official statements issued through the concerned pages and institutions or via locally approved administrative channels, in order to avoid spreading rumors or falling into unintentional misinformation.
Such waves of circulation of unofficial “statements” regarding school suspensions or administrative changes tend to recur during periods of weather instability or exceptional events, making reference to official sources essential to avoid rumors.
Decisions to suspend classes, when necessary, are issued through clear statements specifying the issuing authority, the date of the decision, and its territorial scope, and are usually published on official platforms or through administrative communication channels, helping to protect citizens from misinformation and confusion.
