Alexandre Morois, the new Director General of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), made his first official foreign trip to Morocco on June 25, 2026, less than eight days after taking office on June 17, 2026. The visit underscores the strategic importance of Morocco, which hosts 44 accredited French educational institutions, the largest network of French schools abroad.
During his visit, Morois met with Moroccan education officials and visited several French schools to discuss bilateral cooperation and the expansion of French educational programs. The AEFE oversees a global network of 580 schools in 139 countries, with Morocco being a key partner due to its large French-speaking population and strong educational ties.
This trip aligns with France's broader diplomatic efforts to strengthen cultural and educational exchanges with Morocco, a former protectorate and current ally. The AEFE's mission includes promoting French language and culture abroad, and Morocco's network of French schools serves over 50,000 students.
