King Mohammed VI’s appointments reinforce commitment to reform
King Mohammed VI’s recent appointments reflect a renewed drive for institutional reform, particularly in human rights and education. The appointment of Mohammed Habib Belkouch as ministerial delegate for human rights, along with Amina Bouayach’s reappointment as head of the National Human Rights Council, underscores a strong commitment to upholding rights and freedoms in Morocco. Both figures bring extensive expertise in the field, reinforcing the effectiveness of these key institutions.
In the education sector, with only five years left in Morocco’s 2015-2030 strategic vision for reform, the appointment of Rahma Bourkia as head of the Higher Council for Education signals a focus on strengthening oversight and assessment of government policies. Bourkia, who previously led the council’s national evaluation body, is expected to enhance the effectiveness of education reform initiatives.
Ensuring Institutional Stability
Hassan Idrissi, president of the Moroccan Organization for Human Rights, sees these appointments as a step toward reinforcing Morocco’s human rights institutions. He believes that keeping Bouayach in her position and appointing Belkouch provides continuity and stability, ensuring these institutions continue their vital work.
Belkouch’s appointment fills a vacancy left by the passing of Chaouki Benyoub, making it a timely decision. Idrissi also highlights Bouayach’s achievements, particularly in strengthening Morocco’s role in human rights at the regional and international levels, including her contributions to the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture.
Strengthening Education Reform
Khalid Samadi, a former member of the Supreme Council for Education and Training, sees Bourkia’s appointment as a strategic move to enhance evaluation and monitoring mechanisms for education reform. With the 2015-2030 strategy nearing its final phase, her leadership is expected to accelerate implementation and ensure the success of key reforms.
Samadi also notes that recent council reports suggest ongoing debates over the effectiveness of various initiatives, such as the New School and Pioneer School programs. He emphasizes the need for urgent action to prevent setbacks and ensure the smooth transition of reforms.
King Mohammed VI’s appointments reflect a clear vision for strengthening Morocco’s institutional landscape, ensuring continued progress in human rights and education reform.
