Higher Education Visits


During my stay in El Jadida I was able to visit a technical college, a trade and management (MBA like) college and a full university in the area.  I found them to be very well equipped, modern and European-like.  At the MBA college, they told us that almost 100% of the graduates get a job offer and that 75% of the students are currently women.  This is a 5 year program with a rigorous curriculum and foreign languages, so many students don’t stick with it.  However it is very impressive that 75% are women and that this pathway leads to gainful employment.  This directly relates to the discussion we had the day before in class about women’s issues in Morocco.  At the 3 institutions were visited, it was amazing to learn that the number of women seeking higher education.  This can, and surely will, bode well for the future of Morocco.
