Since 2018, preschool enrollment soared in Morocco, rising from 45% to 80% nationally, and from 33% to 91% in rural areas. The Kingdom had set a national goal of universal preschool access for children aged 4 to 5 by 2028. They especially emphasized reaching rural and disadvantaged communities that have limited access to early learning opportunities. Preschool coverage has since expanded dramatically across the country since 2018.
