Hosting 1st World School Golf Championship in Morocco Demonstrates Kingdom's Capacity to Organize Major Events
The hosting of the 1st World School Golf Championship in Morocco confirms the global community's trust in the Kingdom's ability to organize large-scale sporting events, stated the Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Mohamed Saad Berrada, on Tuesday in Rabat.

Over 160,000 Middle School Students Drop Out Each Year, Says Education Minister
Berlin – More than 160,000 students drop out of middle school every year in Morocco, according to the Minister of National Education, Mohamed Saad Berrada. He shared the figure on Monday during a session at the House of Representatives. 'These are children without schooling, without training, and often without support in difficult environments,' said the minister during the weekly parliamentary questions. Berrada linked this high dropout rate to incidents of violence around sports stadiums. He said that many young people involved in these disturbances are those who have left school early and spend time around stadium areas. To address safety concerns ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the minister announced that all stadiums hosting matches will be equipped with surveillance cameras to help identify those responsible for acts of vandalism. On other education issues, Berrada explained that overcrowding at the primary level has been addressed, but still exists at the middle and high school levels, with a current overcrowding rate of 12%. This, he said, is not due to a shortage of teachers, but to population growth in specific urban areas such as Beni Makada in Tangier, Médiouna, and Nouaceur in Casablanca. Rural areas are less affected by overcrowding, but face different challenges. In these rural regions, multigrade classrooms, where one teacher handles several grade levels, are still common. The minister said that the development of community schools will eventually allow for the end of this system, which is often seen as less effective. The figures and statements reflect the broader difficulties Morocco faces in keeping students engaged in the education system, particularly in the middle school years and in rapidly growing urban districts.

Olympique Safi Win Throne Cup on Penalties After Draw With RS Berkane
Olympique Safi have been crowned Throne Cup champions after beating RS Berkane 6–5 on penalties, following a 1–1 draw after extra time in today's final at the Grand Stadium of Fez. The final, played in front of Prince Moulay Rachid, got off to a lively start. Salahddine Rahaouli gave Safi the lead in the 39th minute, only for RS Berkane to level through a stoppage-time penalty from Issoufou Dayo just before the break. The second half was tighter, with few chances from either side. Berkane had a golden opportunity to go in front on the hour mark, but Dayo saw his second penalty of the match saved by Olympique Safi goalkeeper Khalid Kabiri Alaoui. Extra time failed to produce a winner, sending the match to a penalty shootout. Olympique Safi held their nerve from the spot, converting all six of their kicks, while Berkane missed one. It's a historic win for the coastal side, who lift the Throne Cup for the first time since 1985.
