Que signifie cette incursion dans un champ de réflexion en apparence loin de ses domaines de prédilection ? À ce questionnement légitime nous expliquons no ...

    Si les dimensions politique et économique de la politique africaine du Maroc ont déjà largement été abordées par la littérature, la dimension culturelle reste quant à elle assez peu traitée. La littérature relative à la politique étrangère du Maroc, sa dimension symbolique (culturelle ou cultuelle) est relativement rare. Pourtant, il existe bien une diplomatie du culturel conférant une valeur ajoutée à la sa diplomatie générale. Elle se réfère à certains éléments constitutifs de l’i ...

    L’amélioration de la qualité des apprentissages constitue un défi majeur pour le système éducatif marocain. D’après de nombreuses évaluations, aussi bien qualitatives que quantitatives, le Maroc se place parmi les pays les moins performants en matière de qualité des acquis scolaires. Un autre aspect des faibles réalisations du pays au niveau des tests internationaux est le poids des élèves dits « peu performants1 », et considérés comme particulièrement à risque. L’importance de ce ...
