Literacy and illiteracy in Morocco and the multifaceted role of public libraries

This paper aims to present Morocco's main situation in terms of literacy and illiteracy rates and how public libraries can assist in the development of literacy and education.

The research collected data and statistics available on the Ministry of Education's website, as well as a literature review of the existing research in this regard.

Data shows a lack of support in the field of education and adult literacy and limited access to library services.

The current study is the first and unique one to provide data and analyses on the literacy situation in Morocco.
