HIBAPRESS – A. Mahyaoui
In an atmosphere of openness and mutual trust, the Regional Academy for Education and Training of Fez-Meknes continues its field approach in accompanying leading educational institutions, placing the family at the heart of the new dynamics that the education and training system in the region is experiencing. Over the past few weeks, the Academy's director has made a number of field visits to secondary educational institutions classified as "leading secondary schools" in various regional directorates, where he held direct meetings with mothers, fathers, and guardians, within the framework of a participatory approach aimed at making the family a real partner in supporting learning and making the reform a success.
In this context, the meeting held on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at Bouhouda Secondary School in Taounate, represented a model for embodying this approach based on close communication and mutual listening. The goal was not only to present indicators or numerical results, but also to open a calm discussion about the stakes of the Moroccan school in light of the 2022-2026 roadmap, which places the slogan "For a Public School of Quality" at the heart of its priorities. Participating families expressed their appreciation for this initiative, considering that involving them in thinking and follow-up makes the reform tangible and a daily reality within the school.
In his speech during the meeting, the director of the Academy stressed that the school and the family are "two wings, one of which cannot rise without the other," emphasizing that the success of the reform requires constant communication between the two parties, and a shared belief that the student's interest is the first goal. He also called for transforming communication meetings into a continuous institutional tradition that allows for building mutual trust and helping to address difficulties in a timely manner.
This approach comes within the framework of a comprehensive vision adopted by the Academy, which seeks to make the school a space for societal mobilization and collective engagement in the reform workshop, with a focus on addressing the real challenges facing the system, foremost among which is combating school waste and returning students who have dropped out or been expelled to their desks. The Academy, in coordination with the regional directorates, has launched field awareness campaigns, and educational and psychological support programs aimed at students at risk of dropping out, with the aim of guaranteeing their right to learning and reintegration within the school environment.
The "Leading Secondary Schools" project today constitutes one of the basic pillars for implementing the goals of the roadmap, by improving the quality of learning, developing institutional support, and strengthening the partnership between educational actors, parent associations, and civil society. In this context, the Academy's efforts stand out in linking reform to the principle of equity, by providing learning opportunities for all without discrimination or exclusion.
The Academy director's visit to the classrooms in the institution was in turn a moment of field evaluation and an opportunity to appreciate the efforts made by the educational and administrative staff, and to remind that the success of the school depends on coordinated teamwork that puts the learner at the center of the educational process.
From Bouhouda to the rest of the directorates of the region, this dynamic is expanding to form a distinguished regional experience, which restores the prestige of the public school as an institution open to its environment, capable of listening, motivating, and renewing. With each new communication meeting, a collective conviction is established that educational reform is not a top-down decision, but a joint humanitarian workshop based on closeness, trust, and teamwork in order to build a modern and equitable Moroccan school.
