How the education pathway works
The stage map mirrors the Ministry's pre-primary, primary and two secondary cycles before vocational and post-school routes.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-primary education | Early years | Pre-primary provision is reported separately in the Ministry's annual statistics. |
| Primary education | Primary | Primary schooling is the first main general-education level. |
| Lower and upper secondary | Secondary | Secondary education is split into coll茅gial and qualifiant cycles. |
| Vocational routes | Vocational | Vocational study operates alongside general secondary and post-school pathways. |

How to read the Morocco evidence
The 11.7% value is a programme-orientation share within upper-secondary education, not another headcount.
These measures are kept separate so private-sector counts are not mistaken for national totals across all school ownership types.
