The recent step in the country's journey towards implementing English aims to establish "linguistic pluralism in a progressive and balanced way", says the education ministry.
In 2011, Morocco recognised Tamazight, the language of the indigenous people of the country, as an official language in light of the royal palace's vow to ensure a better relationship between the state and the people.
The Amazigh World Congress lambasted Morocco's PM for exploiting the Amazigh identity as a folkloric facade to score political points for his party while treating the indigenous culture as a sub-culture vis-a-vis Arab identity.
Despite Morocco's recognition of Tamazight as an official language in Morocco's 2011 constitution, it remains absent from official paperwork, schools, and media.
