Morocco Plans Integration of 7,000 Students Evacuated from Ukraine

"At present, the government has several choices before it to integrate these students into study programs. Among them are national programs and others abroad with a number of partner countries, including Hungary and Romania," Mustapha Baitas explained on Thursday during a press briefing following the cabinet meeting, noting that nearly 7,000 students were identified in the first stage.

The government is currently in the second stage, "where we are receiving the files and defining the programs. Initially, we became aware of the information and details, and what is expected of us. We have counted the number of students in each year, in each subject and course of study, between medicine, pharmacy and dentistry," said the official, adding that "there will be an announcement soon." This should calm the ardor of the parents of these students repatriated to Morocco following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, who demonstrated on Thursday in Rabat.
