[Situational Analysis] Situational Analysis for the GCED Curriculum Development & Integration (CDI) Project in Morocco

This situational analysis was commissioned by APCEIU as a background paper to inform key issues and strategies for its GCED Curriculum Development and Integration Project (GCED CDI) in Morocco (2024-2026). It was developed by combining two reports - the Need Assessment Report of GCED in Morocco (2023) and the Report on the Current Status of Citizenship Education within the Pioneer School Program in Morocco (2024) - to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the current context for GCED integration in Morocco.
