Simplified Scheduling Fees Spark Education Debate
The study discusses the results and approvals of the "Flexible Scheduling" system in Moroccan universities, which is scheduled to be implemented starting from the 2026-2027 academic year. This system allows for evening and weekend classes to facilitate the entry of student groups who work during the day. The study clarifies that the goal of this system is to meet the needs of working students, who constitute between 70% and 80% in fields such as master's and doctoral programs. It emphasizes that the discussion surrounding it goes beyond financial fees to include issues of educational quality, equal opportunity, and the identity of public universities. Furthermore, the study links increasing resource generation through potential fees with improving educational quality, while stressing the importance of managing university resources independently and transparently. It also points out that free education does not fully guarantee equal opportunities, and that policies must consider the social backgrounds of beneficiaries. There is a warning about the impact of fees on students with limited income. Finally, the study affirms that the flexible scheduling system is just one tool within a comprehensive university reform process. It must be accompanied by the consolidation of principles such as quality, independence, and justice in education.
