Students, teachers, women's associations, and elected officials participated in the meeting: The rural student at the centre of a debate at the Mohammed V school

The spaces of the Mohammed V primary school hosted, last week, a meeting focusing on the subject of the rural student. An event in which students, teachers, women's associations, and certain elected officials took part. During the debates, the discussions focused at the beginning on the Berber woman in the light of the developments that society is experiencing in terms of achievements in terms of women's rights. Before being particularly interested in the rural girl in school. Unanimity makes that the schooling of the latter is the only salvation to allow her to access employment and notably to decision-making positions to improve her condition and defend her rights to parity and the fight against discrimination that awaits her in all areas including public spaces. The speakers then debated the various problems and difficulties standing against access and the optimisation of the operation of schooling for Tafraout girls in their mountainous environment. The latter evokes poverty, the illiteracy of families, the lack of access to passable roads, health care, among other most basic social services. The subject relating to school dropout largely "invited itself" to the debates as well as the socio-economic mechanisms generating this scourge. Recalling that in some communes, this phenomenon still rages cruelly every year to the great displeasure of the girls' right to school and worse, in the silence of the officials supposed to act for its eradication. Also, the speakers proposed the solution of the generalisation of school transport as a means of fighting against school dropout. The opportunity to signal, in the process, certain difficulties encountered by the girls of the Amelne region who nevertheless benefit from a pioneering experience at the level of the Souss-Massa-Draa region in terms of school transport. It concerns notably the delays often accused by the buses, which is likely to influence the normality of their studies. On the other hand, still with the concern for the optimisation of the quality of pedagogical and didactic action, the girls present evoked several other problems including notably the non-existence or even the closure of extracurricular activity spaces such as libraries. Places that could allow these girls to usefully exploit free hours instead of being delivered to the street and all these compromising temptations as is the case currently. On this subject, the speakers devoted the last theme to the scourge of the spread of smoking and the use of drugs and alcohol among girls benefiting from school transport particularly and all learners in general. The number of students indulging in these toxic products that are sold in broad daylight in the vicinity of the high school and the middle school of the city is going crescendo. In short, the speakers conclude that this deplorable state of affairs is partly a corollary of the lethargy of the parents' associations of the two schools and the lack of communication and synergy between them and the officials of these school establishments in order to work on the various problems that hinder the schooling of the rural girl.
