Government council approves reforms in higher education

The Moroccan Government Council approved a draft decree last week aimed at updating the mandate of university institutions, the structure of higher education programmes, and the awarding of national diplomas, writes Asmae Daoudi for Morocco World News.

The new measure, presented by Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Azzedine El Midaoui, seeks to modernise Morocco’s academic system and improve the international recognition of its degrees.

Under the new provisions, programmes in selective-access higher education institutions will continue to be delivered in person, but will now also allow for the integration of distance learning and alternating education formats, in line with existing legal and regulatory frameworks. The decree also mandates the implementation of a standardised credit system across all study cycles in selective-access institutions, harmonising them with the credit structures used in open-access universities.
