On 18 June 2016 The Guardian reported: lliteracy rates for rural women and girls in Morocco remain as high as 90 per cent. Girls, especially those in areas such as the High Atlas, are more likely to drop out after primary school. Only 26 per cent of girls in rural areas enrol for secondary education, according to the World Bank. These problems disproportionately affect the Amazigh, commonly known as Berbers, the indigenous people of Morocco. A small Moroccan NGO, Education For All (EFA), is helping. EFA's solution is to bring the girls to the schools, an approach which is beginning to change the lives of Berber girls in a way that could transform the region's future. Their boarding houses, which are run solely by Berber women, provide accommodation, healthy food, support with homework, and extra French and English lessons. On average, the pass rate for all academic years is 97 per cent. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of education and culture, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
