In response to the controversies surrounding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced a sweeping reform program aimed at restoring trust and credibility in its operations, particularly in refereeing and judicial processes. Amidst internal turbulence and leadership changes, CAF is also reinforcing its commitment to governance and transparency, while positioning Morocco as a reliable host for future tournaments.
Karim Bencheikh, a deputy for French citizens abroad, is calling for an immediate suspension of controversial AEFE financial reforms, citing a newfound budget surplus that contradicts earlier deficit claims. This move aligns with growing discontent among parent associations in Morocco, who are preparing legal action against school fee hikes set for the Rabat-Kénitra district.
In the wake of budget decisions affecting the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) since December 2025, parents of students in Morocco have voiced concern over the transfer of personnel costs to schools, a move that has led to unprecedented increases in tuition fees. Families could be required to pay up to an additional 10,000 dirhams per year.
