Considering the problems facing education in the private sector, the Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research asserted that the current law allows him to monitor these educational institutions only from the pedagogical point of view; however, he is not allowed to interfere in the contract between families and private schools.

He also indicated that two new decrees will soon be issued to frame the relationship between private schools and the state. Amzazi confirmed that private institutions whereby one Million Moroccan students study, as they host 140,000 teachers and employees, made great efforts during Corona lock-down period, revealing that 68,000 private institutions went bankrupt and closed their doors.
