Rabat — Amazigh rights activists have expressed serious concern over the number of teaching positions allocated by the government of Morocco for Amazigh language professors, which contradict the regulatory law that activates the official nature of the Amazigh language in Morocco.

The angry comments flooded in after the Moroccan Ministry of National Education announced only 180 job positions open for the Amazigh language teachers out of a total of 15.000 teaching position announced for this current year of 2019, constituting only 2.6 percent comparing to 97.40 percent of available positions open for Arabic and French teachers in the primary education.

Amazigh activist, Ahmed Arhmouche, highlighted that in terms of numbers, ‘will need a total of 5,000 Amazigh professors if there is really a real desire to generalize Amazigh teaching on primary education.’ 

In this same context Arhmouche added that, “based on these numbers, it shows clearly that the government is treating us as refugees in our homeland. Therefore, we have always felt that the Moroccan government has always been pursuing its own hidden agenda dealing with Amazigh people as if they were a minority, which a very racist behavior and the government will be held responsible for all the consequences.
