Morocco Grapples with Widespread Stress from GMT+1 Time Change

Moroccans suffer, especially parents of students, who are more anxious when they drop their children off in the dark, indicates L’Economiste in its study on the impact of GMT+1 on students.

According to the same source, the disruption of the biological clock induced by the switch to GMT+1 has led many Moroccans to keep "the old time". Like domestic employees, industrial workers, many educational institutions have postponed the start of classes by an hour, explains the daily.

As for the government, it has remained deaf to protests against this decision, as unpopular as it is incomprehensible, to maintain summer time all year round. Furthermore, the same daily reports that the Executive has received a petition on GMT+1 which it has refused.
