Rabat – The Ministry of National Education has issued guidance to regional education authorities to guarantee the continuity of learning for students affected by recent severe floods in various regions of Morocco.
The ministry emphasized the importance of providing safe and supportive learning conditions while taking into account the different circumstances of affected families.
The heavy rains have caused school closures in many areas and forced some families to temporarily relocate within or outside their regions as part of the government’s precautionary evacuation plans.
To address this, the ministry instructed schools in safer areas to welcome students from affected zones and allow them to continue their studies in classes appropriate for their grade levels.
This temporary arrangement will remain in place until conditions improve and students can safely return to their original schools.
The ministry also stressed the importance of facilitating all administrative procedures for students joining new schools. Support, both educational and psychological, should be provided to ensure smooth integration into these temporary learning environments, it said.
In addition, the ministry called for setting up classrooms in temporary shelters or mobile learning spaces for both school-aged children and early childhood students. Teachers volunteering in this effort can also use the ministry’s digital platform, TelmidTice, which offers free access to structured video lessons and other educational resources aligned with the official curriculum.
The ministry said all education staff including inspectors, school principals, teachers, and social and educational specialists should help ensure learning continuity. Schools should also organize complementary activities such as workshops, drawing, and sports to help students cope with the psychological impact of the floods, it added.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to communicate with the dedicated support hotline for guidance on learning continuity and using the TelmidTice platform.
The ministry urged authorities to inspect affected schools, rehabilitate damaged facilities, and provide extra lessons and academic support to help students catch up.
