Recent appointments to key Moroccan institutions have sparked a debate on the qualifications of the appointees, many of whom have studied in French universities. However, Morocco seems to be undergoing a strategic shift towards fostering a new generation of leaders with an Anglo-Saxon perspective.
This shift is evident in the establishment of multidisciplinary universities in Morocco that offer programs focusing on governance, administration, and engineering. These institutions aim to equip future leaders with critical thinking, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit – skills essential in today’s globalized world.
While Morocco values the strengths of the French education system, it also recognizes the advantages of Anglo-Saxon education. By attracting talented individuals educated in Anglo-Saxon countries, Morocco aims to create a diverse talent pool capable of tackling future challenges and driving national development projects.
Dr. Fatima El Alaoui, an education policy specialist, highlights the importance of this two-pronged approach in creating a well-rounded leadership team. By nurturing both Anglo-Saxon and French-educated talent, Morocco is preparing itself to address complex global issues and promote economic growth on an international scale.
