 Education
The aims of the Moroccan educational programme is yet far from being accomplished. The literacy rate is still low, the access to public schools is limited or non-existing many places, and the universities produce candidates which still have problems finding relevant work.
School was made compulsory for all children between 7 and 13 already in 1963, but according to 1996 figures was only 81% of all boys and 63% of all girls in this age group attending school. The building of new schools have over the last 40 years been on a slower scale than during the first 8 years of independence.
Secondary education offers different curriculums, and lasts up to 6 years. As of 1996, 44% of all boys and 34% of all girls attended this.
Morocco has 8 universities, including one Islamic and one English-language. The universities had in 1998/99 about 265,000 students.
