Quality of basic education and educational inequality in Morocco

The world declaration of education for all (EFA) adopted in Jomtien (1990) and the Dakar framework for action (2000) have clearly defined a global vision which relates to generalized, equitable and quality education (UNESCO: world report education for all). Fairness in school has become a requirement because of its inseparability from quality. It is in this sense that the new reform of the Moroccan school appears that of the strategic vision 2015-2030 which advocates a school of equity, quality and promotion of the individual and society. This contribution aims to shed light on the different forms of educational inequality that hinder the achievement of development objectives in terms of access to quality education, and this through a comparative approach to quality systems in pay from the MENA region. We will also try to focus on indicators of equity and quality linked to the teaching process while drawing on recent data from international assessments TIMSS (2015) and PIRLS (2016).
