Pioneer School Debate

Zekaria Charkawi, a union official with the Democratic Orientation in Nador, criticized the “Pioneer Schools” project. He said that expanding it since the pilot began in 2023 without ongoing evaluation had not ensured better learning outcomes, but had instead diluted the curriculum, widened disparities between schools, and excluded a number of Amazigh-language teachers from incentives and training. By contrast, Mohamed Kharbachi, a parents’ representative at a Pioneer School in Bouizazaren, said the new approaches and targeted support had improved the performance of struggling pupils and their learning conditions. However, he warned that high-achieving pupils were receiving less attention. Both called for the project’s shortcomings to be addressed and for a balance that ensures quality learning for all pupils.
