Addressing Challenges in Medical Education: New Hope for Moroccan Students
Medical students in Morocco have pinned their hopes on the newly appointed Education Minister, Azzedine Elmidaoui, to resolve the ongoing conflict with the government that has plagued the sector for nearly a year. Elmidaoui, who takes over from Abdel Latif Miraoui, is commended for his integrity and past achievements.
Having previously worked at Ibn Tofail University, Elmidaoui’s colleagues are optimistic about his ability to navigate the challenges currently facing medical education in the country. His appointment by King Mohammed VI is seen as a positive step towards reforming the higher education sector, given his successful track record.
Born in Rabat, Elmidaoui holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Montpellier, France, and has held various academic positions in Moroccan universities. His expertise in water research and involvement in international organizations highlight his commitment to academia and scientific development.
With his new role as Education Minister, Elmidaoui brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that could potentially shape a brighter future for medical students in Morocco.
