Education is a fundamental lever for the socio-economic progress of nations, shaping their future through the development of skills and abilities of individuals. This article aims to explore the different facets of school education in Morocco, its current state, the reforms undertaken, and its future prospects to ensure sustainable and equitable educational development. It offers an in-depth assessment based on government reports and academic publications. The objective is to contribute to a better understanding of the issues and challenges of the Moroccan education system, while highlighting the opportunities and avenues of action to ensure quality and equitable education for all.
The results show significant progress, such as increasing enrolment rates and improving infrastructure, but also highlight persistent challenges, including inequalities in access to educational resources, regional disparities in the quality of education, and the need to adapt to technological developments to ensure modern and inclusive education.
Given that entrepreneurial support constitutes an essential lever in all economic development policies, as it creates a conducive environment for entrepreneurship by providing entrepreneurs with necessary conditions, financing opportunities, and networking to develop their businesses, Morocco has launched several programs and mechanisms to support entrepreneurship. These initiatives aim to encourage and assist young individuals in starting businesses and to support existing enterprises in revitalizing or sustaining their activities. With this in mind, we deemed it important to examine the current state of various entrepreneurial support programs and mechanisms established by the Moroccan government for project initiators and existing businesses To accomplish this, the structure of this paper begins by presenting the conceptual foundations of entrepreneurship, with special attention given to the concept of entrepreneurial support. Subsequently, we will present the results of an inventory of all entrepreneurship support programs and mechanisms, which we conducted through a thorough documentary review involving entrepreneurship stakeholders. This inventory compiles and categorizes these support initiatives implemented by Moroccan authorities since the early 2000s to foster to foster the growth of its entrepreneurial ecosystem.
