Moroccan Students Face Mental Health Strain Amid Prolonged Online Learning

Exhausted by the workload in the particular conditions of confinement and distance learning, most demotivated Moroccan students are threatened by depression. Deprived of meetings and outings, they are condemned to remain cloistered between four walls and to focus on their computers.

"The more time passes, the more the malaise sets in within me," explains a student. "We need human contact, otherwise we’ll end up going crazy," adds another.

The students also consider the new distance teaching methods to be inappropriate. According to them, they are left to their own devices, with most teachers simply uploading their courses online on the platform.

With the health situation continuing, the students are not at the end of their troubles. They wish that the education authorities rethink the distance learning system to get teachers to interact with students.
