Morocco, Culture, 5/1/2001

Morocco has said that it will take all measures to deal with the problem of jobless disabled graduates.

The dossier of these people will be dealt with with all concerned partners based on a global approach, the Moroccan ministry in charge of women condition, family protection, childhood and handicapped people integration said in a release.

Some initiatives were already made, in this connection, with private and public operators, the department said, adding that disabled people integration is made according to the principle of these people's right to employment.

Morocco had passed law whereby handicapped people should be granted 7 percent of jobs within the state budget.

The government has already started contacts with the private sector to set the percentage of jobs to be allotted to handicapped people in private firms.
