Education System in Morocco

Morocco has made significant strides in education over the past decades. The Government allocates about 26% of its annual budget for education. The education system in Morocco has undergone several reform and unification programmes in an effort to reduce regional differences in quality and standards, and to ensure universal access to education throughout the country. In 1963, education became compulsory for Moroccan children between the ages of 7 through 13 however, enrolment was only at about 85% in 2000
