HIBAPRESS – Rabat
The Minister of National Education, Preschool, and Sports, Mohamed Said Barada, revealed the reasons for capping the age for entry into education competitions at 35 years old, and previously at 30 years old.
Barada said during his appearance as a guest on the program "Ma'a Al-Ramadni" broadcast by the second channel this Wednesday evening, that the decision was well-studied, adding that a teacher only reaches a high level after 10 to 15 years of teaching experience. The minister did not elaborate much on this aspect during the interview, but he confirmed that a teacher who reaches the age of 50 after reaching what he called "the high level" will only have 10 to 15 years before retirement. He explained that this was a well-studied strategy by the Ministry of National Education, before the latter decided to respond to the demands of "the people and everyone's demands" by raising the age cap from 30 to 35 years. During the same interview, the minister pointed out that most of those who succeeded in the education competitions last year were in the age group between 23 and 25 years old, expecting that things would not change much during the current year as well.
