Moroccan youth department launches Free no-diploma universities

"Popular universities," a free of charge learning structure not leading to diplomas is a new creative initiative launched by the Moroccan secretariat of state for youth and sports to dispense "knowledge for knowledge."

The program, says the department, will consist in creating a national network of such universities, giving courses in various branches such as sociology, communication, philosophy, history, education sciences and law.

The department considers the initiative as an additional headway in the democratization of access to knowledge and an opportunity for all those could not continue higher education.

No diploma will be delivered at the end of these university studies to which access is open to the public.
