RABAT, Apr.21 - Morocco needs to train, in the 10 coming years, 60,000 engineers to meet the growing demand of foreign companies operating in the country, said head of the Rabat Mohammedia Engineers school, Ramdane Khalid.
There are now 8 engineers for each 10,000 inhabitants and Morocco needs to increase the number of engineers who graduate every year to meet the growing demand, he went on.
The school director stressed at a conference debating the integration of Morocco in the world economy that the skills of Morocco’s engineers are another incentive for foreign investors, but their number remains low as the school only train 280 engineers annually, while 1,000 engineers graduate from similar schools in industrialized countries.
