HIBAPRESS – Abdellatif Baraka
A recent government decree revealed significant financial compensation allocated to members of the Permanent Committee for the Renewal and Adaptation of Curricula and Programs, with daily compensation for some experts reaching more than 3,600 dirhams, within the framework of the educational reform project.
According to the decree issued in the Official Gazette, the chairman of the committee benefits from a monthly lump-sum compensation that may reach 30,500 dirhams, paid on a fixed basis regardless of the number of meetings held, while expert members receive compensation of 3,698 dirhams for each working day, up to only two days during the month.
The privileges are not limited to daily compensation, as they also include travel and accommodation expenses, whether inside or outside Morocco, in addition to the possibility of using national and international expertise in exchange for special compensation.
What is striking in this decree is its retroactive effect starting from January 2024, despite its issuance in 2026, which opens the debate about the total cost of these compensations and its impact on public finances, at a time when education reform is one of the biggest bets of the stage.
