French Schools in Morocco Adopt 36-Week Calendar, Aligning with Education Code

The schools and high schools of the French education network in Morocco will start the school year on October 1 to remain in line with the decision taken by the Minister of Education.

Thus, according to the French Embassy in Morocco, this "school calendar is established on the regulatory basis set by the Education Code of 36 weeks with 4 vacation periods, with an unchanged end of the year on July 5, constrained by the national exams."

The diplomatic representation explains that the advantage of this calendar is to allow students and staff to rest during each quarter. In this new calendar, we note a five-day break in the first quarter. The February holidays have been shortened and those of the spring exams and necessary for the revisions have been preserved.
