Local sources told Fes News Media that the Aït Seghrouchen Municipal Council in Taza voted, during an official session, to reject a partnership agreement aimed at building a public upper secondary school (lycée) in the area. The vote was narrowly decided, with 13 votes against and 11 in favor, triggering broad reactions among local stakeholders and those concerned with education.
According to available information, the decision has revived debate over schooling needs in the province—particularly the importance of bringing educational services closer to students and reducing the burden of travel—amid repeated calls for the creation of an upper secondary school that meets rising demand.
In a related context, local actors have linked this development to other files they describe as “stalled” for years within the municipality, citing examples including:
- Neighborhood sports fields: a project that, according to sources, has remained on paper since 2016.
- Wastewater treatment plant: a project discussed locally since 2013, as complaints related to pollution continue, alongside reports of insufficient public lighting in the Bousmalane center.
- Infrastructure and reducing isolation: calls to repair certain road sections and improve access to rural hamlets, amid what sources describe as deteriorating infrastructure and ongoing isolation in some areas.
Observers believe these issues require an institutional clarification regarding the reasons behind delays—whether due to financial constraints, technical or land-related difficulties, or weak coordination with partners. They also call for a clear schedule with specific deadlines and measurable performance indicators that can be monitored.
