Tetouan (north) Aug.20 - King Mohammed VI of Morocco, on Wednesday, announced the launching of a nation-wide operation to provide one million needy children with schoolbooks and stationery, in order "to help deprived families cope with the costs of the new school year."
This operation aims at giving a "new momentum to the generalization of compulsory basic education, promote equal opportunity and tackle the drop-out problem," said the king in a nationwide speech marking the 55th anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People.
The monarch said that this operation will mostly be funded by the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), the authorities and institutions concerned, local governments and trustworthy institutions and associations.
"These steps reflect my determination to make sure the emergency program for the reform of education is properly implemented," the king pointed out.
In this regard, the king urged the government “to prepare a well-thought-out program to provide accommodation for male and female teachers who are assigned to rural areas.” “various contract and partnership formulas for the execution of this program should be considered,” he said.
“Through this initiative, the king noted, we want to make sure teachers and the staff involved in education in rural areas - especially in remote regions - are offered good working conditions which are conducive to stability and which will help them carry out their educational mission properly.”
