Mr. A.I.HASSAN DURATION 1 HOUR
Zohra will never forget the day she heard that
a new school was to open in her village. “Someone came to the house asking for
the names of the children who weren’t attending class,’ she recall. “My mother
gave them my name. I was so excited. “Like most eight year-olds in the village of Bab Berred, Zohra’s life until that
important day was divided between back-breaking work in the nearby fields or at
home. To girls like her, the new school –a single classroom on the ground floor
of a converted house – was a dream which came true.
Not everyone in the village was so
enthusiastic, at least initially. Some farmers complained that the school would
deprive them of the cheap labour the children provided. Even Zohra’s own
step-father, Abdesslam, was unconvinced. “What does she need to study for? He
would ask. Happily, that wasn’t the view of Fqih Temsamani, the elderly
merchant who was persuaded to donate the premises for the school use. ‘I’ve
come to believe that a girl’s education is more important even than a boy’s,’ Fqih
Temsamani says. “A man can always make something out his circumstances, but a
girl can’t. She needs to be educated in order to get on in life.”
Ten years on, it’s hard to find anyone in Bab
Berred who doesn’t share that opinion. The school –which has now expanded into
three classes - is today seen as a wise
investment from which the community is getting tangible rewards. Take the
example of the shopkeeper Jebbour, himself illiterate. “Until Rhimou went to
school, my store accounts were in a complete mess”, he recalls. “But before
long, she was taking care of all the books for me, as well as helping her elder
sister to read and write.” Rhimou is disabled, but her father says she’s the
most capable of his four daughters." I can say that to me, Rhimou
is not longer just a girl; she’s more precious than ten sons.”
While the drive to get more Moroccan girls
into school is bringing benefits in places like Bab Berred, the impact has been
felt nationally. From 227 community schools set by UNICEF and its partners
since 1990 has emerged a campaign setting girls’ education as one of Morocco’s top
development priorities.
