HIBAPRESS – A. Mahyawi
Parliamentarian Mohamed Ouzine, from the Popular Movement group, addressed a written question to the Minister of National Education, Preschool, and Sports, in which he called for considering the possibility of postponing the qualifying exams scheduled for Monday, January 19th, due to their overlap with the final of the African Cup of Nations, which the Moroccan national team will play on Sunday, January 18th.
The parliamentarian explained in his question, which he referred to the Speaker of the House of Representatives according to the provisions of the internal regulations, that the Moroccan national team reaching the final of this continental tournament is a historic achievement that reflects the fruit of the high royal vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God protect him, the first patron of national sports, which was based on building and establishing an integrated sports system that yielded an advanced position for Morocco on the continental and global levels. The written question noted that this major sporting event is receiving unprecedented national and international follow-up, given the quality of the organization, the strength of the competition, and the large public turnout, considering that this sporting event constitutes a nation's project and a legitimate national dream, embodying the values of unity, cohesion, and solidarity between different segments of Moroccan society inside and outside the country. Mohamed Ouzine pointed out that the final match represents an exceptional national moment, especially for the youth and students who have not previously experienced a continental football event of this size, highlighting that the Moroccan fans showed, during this event, a high moral character and a high citizen spirit that reflects the richness and diversity of the Moroccan identity. Based on that, the parliamentarian wondered about the possibility of postponing the qualifying exams for one day, with the aim of enabling students to engage in the atmosphere of national joy, and at the same time providing a time margin that helps them focus and prepare well for passing these decisive academic entitlements. This proposal is expected to spark a wide discussion in educational circles and public opinion, between a supporter who sees it as a step that takes into account the psychological dimension of students and the exceptional national circumstances, and an opponent who prefers to maintain the time schedule for the exams.
