AUJOURD'HUI LE MAROC :
Banks: Two billion Dirham of interests income lost in 2016: "The time is on the balance sheet in the banking sector. The battle that has taken place almost all the establishments of the place on the rates of loan has had consequences not insignificant.

Instead of nearly 39.3 billion Dirham of interests income pocketed in 2015."

According to a study conducted as part of the National Prior Learning Assessment Program at School: A 13% of students use drugs within the institution, a 23% lack discipline and an 18% report having suffered sexual or moral harassment: "The damning reports for the Moroccan school follow one another and resemble each other. They all draw the same negative conclusion: The educational system no longer fulfills its role in terms of training and supervision. The National Prior Learning Assessment Program (NELP), after pointing out the inadequacies of the pupils in Arabic, French and mathematics, has highlighted the inadequacy of the socio-educational environment for learning. A study conducted by the PNEA shows that a 15% of students report smoking tobacco, a 13% use drugs within the institution and a 10% consume alcohol. The study also shows that a 23% of students lack discipline within the classroom and a 22% do not respect the cleanliness and safeguarding of school spaces. Worse still, more than half of the students (56%) have a negative or mitigated perception of the security climate in their schools," tells us the study."

AL BAYANE :
Hooliganism, the Ultras and the state of the seats: "Hooliganism apparently has a tough skin. That is what we have proved, once again, the events that took place at the Grand Stadium of Marrakech during the match between the Raja de Casablanca and the Kawkab in Marrakech, which ended with a white draw. It must be said that the aberration derives from the fact that they are the two Ultras of the green team, the Eagles and the Green Boys in this case, which are the cause. What could we expect? Or more precisely, towards which wall the Raja supporters lead their team, that has - or had - all its chances in the race for the title! Now, and as usual, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation will act to penalize the Club. A fine exploit of the members of these Ultras that, instead of contributing fully to help their team through their presence as 12th player in the remaining matches, were satisfied, at a crucial stage of the Botola, to tear off the seats of the bleachers and to spoil a field that had seen them share their joy with the whole Moroccan people during the Club World Cup."

Morocco-EU Joint Parliamentary Committee: The partnership under the microscope: "The Morocco-European Union Joint Parliamentary Committee will hold its 8th annual meeting in Rabat in the 18th and 19th of April. Safe challenges, anti-terrorist struggle, the issue of migration and the subject of mobility, but also the situation concerning the agriculture agreement and the Comprehensive and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement will be at the heart of the discussions."
RANKING: Morocco, safe country in the MENA region: "Morocco is one of the countries where security and politics are "low risk" for free exchange and companies. This is the observation that has just prepared Contrai Risks in its 2017 delivery on the security and political risks in the world. The British cabinet has chosen as its theme, this year, globalization and free trade, with the following question: How can companies adapt and prosper in these changing times? And in the "RiskMap2017", Morocco is well positioned. The kingdom is indeed the safest country in terms of free politic exchange and security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)region."
