A delegation from Morocco’s Conseil Supérieur de l’Éducation, de la Formation et de la Recherche Scientifique conducted a working visit to Paris last week as part of the institution’s ongoing partnership with France’s Conseil d’Évaluation de l’École. The visit marked a new stage in the institutional relationship between the two bodies, focusing on consolidating past achievements and setting the direction for future collaboration.
The Paris meetings allowed the two parties to review and assess the actions carried out under the existing partnership framework, to identify emerging areas for cooperation, and to lay the groundwork for a new biannual action plan covering 2026 and 2027. The substantive discussions centered on two interconnected themes: the evaluation of educational establishments and the analysis of national education policies, alongside questions of governance and the steering of complex educational systems.
Both areas reflect priorities that are central to the ongoing reform of Moroccan public education. The Roadmap 2022-2026 has generated a significant volume of data on student achievement, institutional performance, and pedagogical outcomes — data whose quality and use are being shaped in part by international partnerships such as the one with the CEE. France’s school evaluation council, which has developed recognized expertise in external and internal evaluation methodologies, represents a natural partner for Morocco as it refines its own institutional assessment frameworks.
Beyond the formal meetings, the delegation also participated in the inauguration of the Salon Numéria 2026, Morocco’s national fair dedicated to digital innovation in education. The parallel presence at this event allowed the delegation to position the partnership within Morocco’s broader digital education ambitions, connecting bilateral expertise-sharing with the transformations under way in Moroccan classrooms.
The visit is consistent with the CSEFRS’s stated strategy of international openness, which sees engagement with foreign counterpart institutions as a means of benchmarking Moroccan education governance practices against international standards and importing proven methodologies. Both institutions described the mission as reflecting a shared commitment to elevating the quality of learning and strengthening the performance of their respective education systems through sustained, practical cooperation.
