The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the world’s largest survey of teachers and principals. In 2024, educators from 55 education systems provided information about what they do and how they are doing. They explain if and how they use artificial intelligence, why they became teachers and if they wish to continue teaching. Governments use data from TALIS to make policies that improve teaching and learning conditions in their schools.

The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines what students know in reading, mathematics and science, and what they can do with what they know. It provides the most comprehensive and rigorous international assessment of student learning outcomes to date. Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning outcomes attained around the world, and allow educators and policy makers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. This country note provides a country-specific overview of Morocco.

Morocco has successfully increased access to schooling over the past two decades, particularly in rural areas, and ensured quasi-universal access to primary education. However, improving the educational outcomes of all young Moroccans - by ensuring access to high quality teaching and learning until the completion of secondary education - remains a challenge. A majority of students leave school without completing upper secondary education and without the basic skills required to contribute effectively to society and the economy. This review provides Morocco with recommendations to help strengthen its evaluation framework for the education system, by putting a stronger emphasis on student learning, improving accountability of actors for quality teaching and learning, and strengthening the evaluation capacity of actors at all levels.
