Every year, thousands of Moroccan students leave the kingdom to pursue their studies in France. But behind the same academic ambition, the conditions of departure and the realities they face on arrival can vary widely. Between family support, financial stability and the need to work, not everyone starts out with the same opportunities.
In France, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space has unveiled a new decree on university tuition fees, confirming that non-European Union students will be the hardest hit starting next academic year. The measure further tightens the government’s policy on foreign students, despite concerns that it could sharply restrict access to higher education.
