Cancer-Stricken Student Denied Enrollment in Marrakech High School, Sparks Controversy

According to the office of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights, a complaint had been filed to this effect by the student’s father, accompanied by reports from his doctors and the hospitals concerned. The latter denounces the unfair decision of the establishment, which deprived his son of a right recognized by the Constitution.

The regional director of the Ministry of National Education was informed by the association’s office, specifying that the young man, who is still undergoing chemotherapy sessions, should not be deprived of his fundamental rights, including the right to education, especially since he had left school for a compelling health reason.

In this regard, the association recalls that the Ministry of National Education has published several memoranda calling for guaranteeing a school seat for each student, with the possibility of dropping out for major reasons.
