Moroccan school textbooks face ongoing distribution disputes
The article discusses the ongoing controversy in Morocco regarding the distribution of school textbooks for the 2026-2027 academic year. The dispute is between booksellers and publishers over the removal of a percentage of the profit margin allocated to booksellers in distribution deals, a provision that was in place previously. The National Association of Booksellers fears that this removal could weaken the position of professional bookstores and threaten their sustainability, especially amid the expansion of the "Leadership Schools" project. Conversely, some stakeholders in the sector justify reorganizing distribution margins as a way to improve the delivery of books to educational institutions in a more flexible manner. This has led the association to resort to formal procedures, including raising the issue with the Mediator of the Kingdom and the Competition Council, to seek clarifications and guarantees that protect the rights of booksellers. This controversy impacts the course of the academic year, as the role of booksellers remains central to ensuring the delivery of books and enabling educational institutions to benefit from the system in a fair and effective manner.
