Parents of students at French schools in Casablanca-Mohammédia have expressed outrage over what they describe as a lack of progress on infrastructure projects despite millions of euros in fees collected. In an open letter to the director of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), the UCPE/FCPE Maroc and PEEP Maroc parent associations demanded transparency and action.
The letter, dated May 2026, alleges that significant sums were raised through tuition and special levies for renovation and construction projects that have not been carried out. The parents claim that classrooms remain overcrowded and facilities are deteriorating, with no visible improvements.
An AEFE spokesperson confirmed receipt of the letter and stated that an internal audit is underway to verify the allegations. The agency emphasized its commitment to ensuring that funds are used appropriately and that projects are completed as planned.
Local media reports indicate that the schools involved are among the largest French educational institutions in Morocco, serving thousands of students. The controversy has sparked broader debate about financial management in French overseas schools.
As of May 22, 2026, no official response has been issued by the schools' management. Parents have threatened further action if their concerns are not addressed promptly.
