Education for Children with Disabilities: The Urgent Call from the Moroccan Observatory for Inclusive Education

Sunday 06 September 2026 - 13:46

As the new school year approaches, the issue of inclusion for children with disabilities is coming to the forefront. The Moroccan Observatory for Inclusive Education is urging the Ministry of National Education, Preschool, and Sports to expedite the implementation of the program aimed at supporting their education.

The organization specifically calls for the swift finalization of the approval and signing procedures for the support program, believing that any further delay could deprive many children of the expected assistance.

An Urgent Start to the School Year

As schools prepare to welcome students, the Observatory raises the alarm about the situation of children with disabilities who are still awaiting adapted provisions to meet their needs.

For the organization, the timeline intensifies the urgency. Each delay in validating the program can indeed have concrete repercussions on families and on the ability of affected children to access education under appropriate conditions.

The Observatory therefore requests that the ministry no longer postpone the final administrative step that would make the system operational.

Thousands of Children Affected

Beyond the institutional question, the stakes directly concern the access to education for thousands of children with disabilities. The support program must specifically help strengthen the necessary conditions for their integration into the educational system.

The call made by the Observatory comes in a particularly sensitive context: that of an approaching school year during which families need clarity on the provisions their children will actually be able to access.

Inclusion at the Heart of Expectations

The Observatory's request also highlights the challenges facing inclusive education policy in Morocco. For associations and families, inclusion cannot be limited to a general principle: it must translate into effective support mechanisms available at the time students return to school.

By urging the ministry to act "without delay," the organization aims to make this school year a concrete deadline to accelerate the implementation of the program.

With just a few days left before classes resume, pressure is mounting around this issue, with a primary expectation: that the necessary administrative decisions are made quickly and that the affected children can benefit from the promised support.
