About the project

3

Motivations

1. Students with special needs: 5% of Moroccans have a disability and only 0,11% have access to HE; among them, very few finish their studies.

2. International students: 65 nationalities, most of them from Subsaharan origin; most difficulties are related to the integration of linguistic and cultural diversity.

3. Students facing poverty and socio-economic precarity: the rural origin and the family situation may usually lead to dropouts.

4. Female students facing unequal opportunities and discrimination: Women often choose studies that may not imply easy access to the labor market and which may lead to unemployment.
