The government of Morocco has a strong commitment and ambitious plan to universalize access to quality ECE for all 4- and 5-year-olds by 2027. Over the past four years, USD 1.5 billion of domestic resources have been invested in expanding access to ECE, with impressive results because of national mobilization involving the Ministry of National Education, Preschool, and Sports (MENPS), the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), and civil society. Morocco has seen a spectacular increase in enrollment among children ages 4 and 5, from 45 percent in 2017 to 76 percent in 2022-233. Ongoing efforts also focus on teacher training and support, the strengthening and monitoring of service quality, and the impact on children’s development outcomes. The Moroccan government aims to continue to strengthen the alignment of institutional actors, ensure quality education across providers, and provide further support and training for teachers.
