Science, engineering and medicine to get Arabic modules

Morocco has taken a decisive step in reshaping its higher education system with the publication of Official Gazette No. 7430, which enacts provisions of Framework Law No. 51.17 on the education and training system. The measure enforces that universities and professional schools that rely on foreign languages of instruction include at least one module in the Arabic language within their scientific, technical and professional programmes, which are mostly taught in foreign languages, reports Issam Toutate for Morocco World News.

Framework Law No. 51.17, adopted by parliament in 2019, laid out a roadmap for an ambitious reform of Morocco’s education system.

One of its central pillars is the concept of linguistic engineering, designed to restore the role of Arabic in higher education while maintaining Morocco’s commitment to multilingualism.
