Government plans to employ 200 expatriate researchers

Morocco seeks to welcome 200 Moroccan expatriate researchers in September, in order to boost higher education in the country, writes Lamine Rahhali for Morocco World News.

Morocco’s Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Abdellatif Miraoui announced on Thursday 25 August that the country’s higher education reforms have entered their final stages. The minister highlighted that Moroccan researchers and academics work overseas, while wanting to return home to work, but are unable to do so due to the current system.

The government is striving to restructure higher education in order to make it possible to hire and employ Moroccan expats in Moroccan universities in order to address this problem. After receiving the Moroccan unions’ consent, the reforms will be announced in two to three weeks, added Miraoui.
