Peace, and yet
The Tamghrabit Congregation for Citizenship Gatherings, known as "Tada Tamghrabit", followed with great interest the state of the Amazigh language in the educational system during the first year of your appointment at the head of the Ministry of National Education, Primary Education and Sports, especially since the promotion of cultural and linguistic justice is among the commitments we expect from The government fulfilled them in the framework of workshops to activate the official character of Amazigh.
We regret, Mr. Minister, to inform you that the teaching of Tamazight suffers from a number of problems and structural obstacles, among which in particular is the absence of a sectoral plan of action for the Ministry of National Education, Primary Education and Sports, which includes modalities and stages of integrating Tamazight into the educational system, and is in line with the requirements of Organic Law 26.16 related to defining The stages of activating the official character of Amazigh and the modalities of its integration in the field of education and in the priority areas of public life, a scheme that takes into account the dates and deadlines stipulated in Articles 31 and 32 of the aforementioned organic law.

Our great hope was that the Amazigh teaching workshops would receive the attention they deserve, and that Moroccans would celebrate the International Mother Language Day this year, without being trapped by the nightmare of the possibility of the extinction of the Amazigh language. However, unfortunately, we note that the reform projects of the educational system do not take into account the pivotal role that the constitutional legislator has assigned to the workshops for integrating Amazigh into education, as an essential entry point for activating the constitutional affirmation that Amazigh is a common asset among Moroccans without exception, and that is the principle affirmed by His Majesty. King Mohammed VI in 2001, before it was stipulated in the constitutional document in 2011.
