Date of Incident: April 19, 2025

Region & Country: Morocco

New or Ongoing: New Incident

A parliamentary report revealed systemic neglect in Morocco’s university dormitories, highlighting poor infrastructure, substandard meals, overcrowded halls of residence, lack of maintenance, and inadequate medical care. These deficiencies reflect a chronic failure to uphold student welfare and ensure a conducive learning environment.

Comments/Recommendations
ACAF expresses deep concern over the substandard living conditions, which directly undermine students’ ability to focus and engage academically. Authorities must urgently invest in student accommodation, enforce minimum standards of care, and institutionalize regular consultation with students.
A transparent audit of infrastructure and support services is crucial to inform sustainable reforms and prevent further erosion of the quality of higher education.
