Morocco

Morocco shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Most dimension scores sit close to global norms, without a single dimension standing far above the rest.

Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation.

R&D investment remains modest, affecting long-term innovation potential. Regulatory quality falls short of global standards, signalling structural hurdles in policy execution. Gender parity leans toward boys in secondary pathways, signalling persistent barriers for girls.

Governance presents a near-term leapfrog opportunity: performance is just below the global average, backed by enough observed data to support forward planning. Regionally, Morocco leads most clearly in School Access and Gender Parity, sitting well above the peer average.
