He emphasized that the achievements of Morocco’s educational and university systems reflect a profound transformation in the sector, particularly evident through the outstanding performance of its institutions on an international scale.
Investment at the Heart of the Africa-Europe Partnership
The French president also announced an investment of €23 billion directed towards Africa, aimed at generating more than 250,000 direct jobs between Europe and the African continent. He underscored the interdependence between Europe and Africa, asserting that the African continent primarily needs structural investments rather than traditional public aid.
