Moroccan Students Attack Teachers After Cheating Crackdown at Baccalaureate Exam

It took gendarmes for the teachers who were supervising the Baccalaureate exams to be able to leave the "Al Khawarizmi" High School in Aït Melloul, according to some media sources including AlYaoum24. Last Monday, after the Islamic education exams, it was indeed very hot, in front of the high school.

A statement from the National Federation of Education informs that the teachers were the target of stone throwing and that the windows of a car were broken by some third-year high school students.

The reason, according to the same source, is that the supervisors prevented the students from cheating during these Baccalaureate exams. Gendarmes, as specified, had to go to the scene so that the teachers and members of the administration, who were in charge of the supervision during the exams, could return home unharmed.

The media, Article19, relays the outcome of this affair: "The union, which condemned these acts of violence, called on the local authorities and the education officials in the region to take the necessary measures to put an end to these practices and to protect the teachers".
