Back-to-school and education cost

On Monday, September 5, Moroccan students will be back in their classrooms - after months of vacation spent playing, staying up late, and watching cartoons.

The kids will be back in the classroom with lots of memories from a hot summer this year.

Vacation often affects the sleeping conditions of children and it is difficult for them to adapt easily, which takes a few weeks.

In this article, I will not talk about children and study conditions, nor sleep and other things, but I will talk about the economic conditions of parents.

The difficult question is the cost to low-income parents, who have to take on the trouble of paying tutoring fees and think about the cost, now that many are dissatisfied with public education.

Parents' concerns range from children's new clothes and new books to school enrollment fees.

The raising of tuition fees by some schools last year sparked a lot of controversies, as private schools forced July to cancel their fees, even though a month is often associated with the holiday in Morocco.

Before the June vacation, I met many parents who expressed their dissatisfaction with this problem and the high cost of studying, given the social status of many of them.

As a journalist, I worked on many social issues, touching on the suffering of people from the high cost of education, and I also studied in the public sector before.

The public sector 30 years ago is not the same today. I went to primary school in the village and always loved to read, research and read newspapers with passion.

This is the passion that drove me to work in digital journalism in Morocco.

In the village, a child can travel a few kilometers as we used to do when we were young to get to school.

There are scattered villages, and not all of them have middle or secondary schools. Rather, this type of school is somewhat far away, which requires the provision of transportation, and some children cannot reach school for this reason, despite the efforts of local associations to provide transportation.

Summer in Morocco 2025: Traditions, Daily Life, and Cultural Rhythms

Summer in Morocco in 2025 is not only about the heat and the sunshine; it is a season of social rhythms, cultural gatherings, and daily habits that shape life across the country. As temperatures rise, Moroccans naturally adapt their routines, shifting much of their activity into the cooler hours of the evening when families and friends fill the streets, cafés, and seaside promenades. In coastal cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier, the Atlantic breeze softens the summer atmosphere, turning the evenings into lively social occasions. Families stroll along the corniche, children play near the water, and young people gather in open cafés where mint tea and fresh juices remain essential companions to conversation. This nightly migration toward public spaces is one of the most distinctive features of Moroccan summer life. In Marrakech, Fez, and the historic towns of the interior, the story takes a different turn. The heat of the day pushes life into the shaded alleys of the...
