The repercussions of Covid-19 On the field of education

The school, which is attended by about a third of Moroccan citizens, has been closed since March 16, 2020. Given that schools represent spaces for heavy gathering for children and adults alike, this may provide an appropriate environment for the spread of Covid-19 in the school population. According to UNESCO, as of April 21, 2020, 191 countries have closed their schools (Figure 1), with more than 1.5 billion students involved in this measure, which represents 90 % of the total number of learners internationally. As for Morocco, it was affected by the decision to close schools 8.943.156 Moroccan students, which is equivalent to the total of learners at all levels of education at the national level. And like the rest of the world, Morocco has adopted remote learning as a solution to face the interruption of studies in educational institutions.
