The Moroccan Ministry of National Education, in charge of primary education, vocational training, and qualifications, has announced that it will be holding a competitive exam for enrollment in a teaching training program. The program, which will take place on November 28, 2026, aims to recruit and train new teaching staff. The exam will be held at regional centers, with written, practical, and oral tests. Successful candidates will be assigned to training centers based on their preferences and qualifications.
To be eligible for the program, applicants must meet certain requirements, including being of Moroccan nationality, having a clean criminal record, and possessing a valid teaching degree or equivalent. One of the key requirements is that applicants must not exceed 40 years of age as of November 28, 2026. Additionally, applicants must have a valid teaching degree or equivalent, and must not be currently employed by another organization.
The application process for the program will take place entirely online, through a dedicated portal, from November 5 to 19, 2026.
