Language Policy in Multilingual Morocco

Morocco's multilingual landscape, creates a complex educational environment in which choosing school languages is challenging. This research examines the impact of Morocco's language policy on students' academic and professional outcomes and the disparities affecting public-school learners. It compares language-education paradigms in public and private institutions to assess how instruction quality influences academic and career success. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines questionnaires on students' proficiency and perceptions with interviews offering deeper insights into challenges and opportunities in multilingual instruction. Document analysis of official discourse also evaluates the gap between policy and implementation. Findings reveal the need for a more equitable and inclusive policy ensuring high-quality language education for all students. By comparing both sectors, the study highlights language mastery as key to academic success, professional development, and national progress, calling for reforms that promote diversity and equal access.
