140,000 children back to school thanks to informal education program

More than 140,000 children have returned to school thanks to the informal education program set up jointly with the civil society, said Wednesday, Moroccan State Secretary for Literacy and Informal Education, Anis Birou.

At a meeting with representatives of associations active in the realm of informal education, Birou, said however, the goals achieved by the program so far are not enough if we take into account the annual growing number of non-schooled children.

He added that his department aspires to raise the number of people adhering to the informal education program, stressing that this requires a help from associations.
