Morocco Cracks Down on Student Classroom Recordings, Threatens Punishment

Henceforth, all videos filmed inside school establishments and in classrooms will be the subject of an investigation and their authors will be sanctioned, reports the newspaper Al Massae, which recalls that despite their prohibition, smartphones continue to be present in schools.

This decision comes a few days after the release of a video showing a teacher in Kelaâ des Sraghna attacking two students and turning over their desk. Following the publication of the images on social networks, the ministry had sent an investigation commission to the site.

The director of this establishment, for his part, had expressed surprise at the rapid dissemination of this video and claimed that the students and their parents as well as the teacher had been received in his office and this matter had been quickly settled.
