“School and Ideology in the Spanish Protectorate of Northern Morocco (1912-1956)” discusses the origin and development of Spain’s educational policy in Northern Morocco. Though the presence of educational institutions began prior to the existence of the Protectorate, it was not until its creation in 1912 that one can truly speak of an educational policy. Initially designed by the colonizers as a tool for controlling the territory and population, it was gradually adapted to the new political and ideological contexts as of the 1930’s. The pages of this book analyze the keys to the success and factors in the failure of the different educational policies implemented during this period of shared history between the two countries, thereby also demonstrating the challenges which exist in the field of education in independent Morocco.
