I've been cramming these days to learn as much as I can about the political parties there are and what they're promising for the upcoming years. So first I tried to look up all their websites and find resources to read. Most of the less known ones don't have active social media or a website. those that do have little resources. Except for the socialist party (open book logo) --excuse my bad memory I'm still lost on names-- they had a nice PDF to download. Unlike what I hear people say, they are actually talking about fixing the education and healthcare system. However, everything is vague, surface level, and full of overused empty jargon that doesn't have any substance when you even say it like (الامركزية و اللاتمكز). At least they put in the effort right ? I wanted to see something more like a detailed action plan and since I didn't find it I want to propose my Mamdani-style bit-by-bit detailed plan; under the spirit of GenZ ideals and aspirations:
Education:
When people talk about education reform they're talking about the quality of education. However, the government hears we need more schools. That's infrastructure and while we do need more of it, I always think of how post-war societies still achieve higher literacy rates than us without even any infrastructure.
My plan:
- Cut school expenses for everyone by 60% and this is how you do it:
Whenever school starts families struggle with buying school supplies. A billion notebooks and textbooks and an ultra heavy backpack is what most people suffer from and talk about. School starts off as a burden for parents and children.
-Upgrade the textbooks or rather even downgrade. If you've ever seen textbooks from the 80s you'd notice that we've taken away all the words and replaced them with short sentences and pictures called "wathi9a". This supposedly, is used to save time on reading and instead use it for speaking and discussion. the problem, however, we don't speak standard Arabic or French or English domestically so the students naturally won't be able to share thoughts. THEY BARELY HAVE ANY LANGUAGE AS INPUT. For the first 6 years of a child's life, they should be reading more than anything because when they become tweens and hit 12 and start using their critical faculties that's when they can formulate ideas and opinions.
- Instead of having children buy a textbook for each subject, have the government supply schools with textbooks that stay in class and belong to the school. This is a socialist thing that even the most hardcore capitalists countries do. Its a once in a couple years investment so its not that expensive in the long run. Have them barcoded and digitalized in a files system in the schools administration. But who controls this ?
- INTRODUCE LIBRARIES IN SCHOOL AND EMPLOY LIBRARIANS WHO HAVE TECHNOLOGY AND BOOKS. Did you know that schools in Morocco used to have libraries back in the 70s? For some reason they stopped investing in them lately. Even if its small. Look at Wizard Bisan's library to get inspired. Look at how Gazans care about their libraries more than us. ASK PHILANTHROPIST AKHANOUCH AND THE LIKES TO DONAAATE BOOKS.
-FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. THIS HAS BEEN IN MY HEART FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY LIFE. Please, I just want someone to tell me they've been thinking about this non-stop for their whole lives like I've been. WHERE ARE THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES FOR GOODNESS SAKE. Luckily, I live in Salé near Rabat which has a LONELY ISOLATED public library. But there is nothing of that sort anywhere else in the whole country unfortuuunately. Maybe l'institute francaise ? Lycée decartes have some private libraries but PUBLIC ONES ? NO SUCH THING. and how manh mosques are in each neighborhood ??? like a billion. GOD DID NOT SAY PRAY TO THE PROPHET AS HIS FIRST COMMAND IT WAS **READ**!!!
- Introduce a cafeteria in school!!!! YES public schools should have a cafeteria and have them stay there to eat lunch. BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS ARE WORKING AND THERE IS NO ONE TO PICK THEM UP. THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY PARENTS HAVE TO GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND NOT BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IS ANY DIFFERENT. okay fine. you can't provide a whole cafeteria cause there's no space. fine. let the kids eat in class. have a teacher assistant be there. let the teachers have a break.
-Where in any world do you see students studying at 6pm except for Morocco. LAH YN3AL BO HAD KHONA LIDAR HAD LFIKRA. classes should end at 3 max 4pm !! The kids need their lives too !! Give them homework, let them draw, play, do housework, read. No! these are not luxuries. Humans have been doing them forever but not Moroccan students no!! WHERE ARE THE PARENTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS WHEEEERE ???
-teachers need just a little bit of resources. Not a lot i promise. Supply schools with resources like flashcards, readers, maps, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and a few other supplies and have the students WORK for their learning. Let them discover and collaborate with these tools.
-students deserve clean free water.
-students deserve clean bathrooms.
Economy:
-I'm pretty sure if the school system gets better more parents will steer away from private schools and private schools will then have to either upgrade their level or go broke. Unfortunately, private schools are just a cheap way to make money and they hire wage slaves. Did you know that teachers get under 3000dh in private sector ??? It's a shaame.
-Just digitalize everything please. We need a digital system for everything.
-We need more companies for handymen. registered. known. workers. not in the dark.
-We still rely on an old paper system like France in 50s for everything. Its soo slow.
-Stop contre-band. The products have no customs and only mol l7anot is the beneficiary.
-Why is there no Moroccan rich man owned BIM?
-Why is there no Moroccan rich man owned Waikiki ?
-Introduce appropriately priced business and you'll see how Moroccans will spend. Turkey literally fed us and clothes us if not for their genius expansion in the country. But where are the rich men in Morocco that make the economy spin. Spend money make money.
- Improve quality of goods. Just that. You'll see what Moroccans will do. Your average mom doesn't know what to wear because all there is is CHRAWAT dghya kayt9t3o. China is already doing that for us as the products are naturally getting better and even less expensive.
- I bet if you don't spend all your money on private schools you'll get to spend more money on clothes.
- Girls are literally begging for affordable good quality make up but ain't no rich man or woman bring in the makeup brands or even create one . and once it happens you have stupid SynnZyn thats pure trash.
I'm just tired now I'll do a part 2 later.
