The vast majority of Moroccans want English to replace French at school. This is what emerges from a survey carried out by the Moroccan Citizenship Center.
Moroccans are showing more and more interest in English than in French. 89.6% of people questioned as part of a survey carried out by the Moroccan Citizenship Center among a sample of 12,128 people, including 9,553 teachers, prefer that the language of Shakespeare replace the language of Molière, as the first foreign language in Morocco, reports the daily Assabah. Only 6.2% of those surveyed favor maintaining French as their first language. 1.6% of respondents chose Spanish.
