It follows King Mohammed VI of Morocco’s decision to normalize relations with the Jewish
state in yet another historic peace deal brokered by U.S. President Donald
Trump’s administration and announced last week.
The move has had “the impact of a tsunami,” Serge Berdugo,
secretary-general of the Casablanca-based Council of Jewish Communities of
Morocco, told the French news agency AFP.
The decision concerning the curriculum was reportedly made
discretely, even before Rabat and Jerusalem formerly normalized relations.
According to AFP, the decision was made as part of an ongoing
revamp of the educational curriculum in Morocco, which began in 2014.
The move aims to “highlight Morocco’s diverse identity,” according
to Fouad Chafiqi, head of academic programs at Rabat’s Education Ministry.
AFP further cited two U.S.-based Jewish associations—the American
Sephardi Federation and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish
Organizations—as saying that they had “worked closely with the Kingdom of
Morocco and the Moroccan Jewish community” on the “groundbreaking” academic
reform.
“Ensuring Moroccan students learn about the totality of their proud
history of tolerance, including Morocco’s philo-Semitism, is an inoculation
against extremism,” leaders of the two organizations said in a statement
published on Twitter.
As part of the plan, two new books will be introduced into the
curriculum. They include a description of the life and heritage of Moroccan
Jews under Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdellah al-Khatib, a descendant of the Alawite
dynasty that rules the country to this day.
The books, intended for fourth and sixth grades,
include historical accounts dating from the 17th century to the present day.
