Summary: 

Morocco provides access to public and private schools and non-formal education for migrant children, regardless of administrative status, and has preparatory courses to prepare migrant and refugee children for inclusion in the formal school system.

A certain number of activities and measures were undertaken in 2017-2018, in ordere to guarantee the registration of migrant children:

  • Elaboration and validation of a "educational integration mechanism for migrant children and refugees", which determines the steps and procedures for the identification, welcome, orientation and registration of these children, regardeless of their nationality or administrative status, and involving national, regional and local actors.
  • Integration of migrants and refugees in the Ministerial Decision of the Ministry of National Education and Vocational raining, Higher Education and Scientifc Research (MENFPERS) related to measures and approaches for the school-start.

In order to raise awareness and inform on the rights to education for migrants and refugees, the MENFPERS) elaborated and broacasted audio-visual spot capturing testimonials of migrant chidren in the framework of the awareness-campaign for the registration of out-of-school children in the non-formal education (Operation "Caravan" and "Child to Child".

Tutoring classes have been put in place by associations and supported by the MCMREAM, through tripartite partnership conventions. This learning support gives the possibility to offer personalized support to migrant pupils in order to improve their educational skills and to guarantee a better integration in the school curriculum.

Moreover, the non-formal education aims to guarantee an education for all out-of-school children, and to give them the possibility to develop their own integration projects, and combat against school drop-out.
