A ceremony was held Thursday in Rabat marking the transition of leadership between Azeddine Midaoui, newly appointed by King Mohammed VI as Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation, and his predecessor Abdellatif Miraoui. Joining the Akhannouch government, Midaoui faces significant challenges, notably a long-standing medical students’ crisis. Expectations are high, especially as his daughter is also studying dentistry. Key issues awaiting his attention include overcrowding in universities, lack of infrastructure, and limited budgets for scientific research.
