Morocco’s Education and Youth Minister has announced that a dialect of Tamazight, the language of the Amazigh people of Northern Africa, will be taught in 300 primary schools throughout the country. The pilot project is being promoted as an important preliminary step to implementing the lessons more broadly in other schools. The ministry is partnering with the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture to establish guidelines for teaching the language, and for the general dissemination of Amazigh culture in Morocco.
