The provincial directorate is the level just above the school administration. Rabat-Salé-Kénitra has 7 of them, each with its own examinations service that locks marks before they are published in Massar Moutamadris.
7 directorates, 7 different realities
7 directorates, each with its own character between administrative capital, agricultural hinterland and coastline:
- Rabat — The administrative capital, with renowned public schools and a strong international-school presence.
- Salé — One of the country's largest by student numbers, with vast, densely populated districts.
- Skhirate-Témara — An urban continuum with Rabat, marked by strong residential growth and constant demand for places.
- Kénitra — A large city on the Sebou, ringed by rich farmland and a developing industrial zone.
- Khémisset — A province of the Zemmour plateaux, mixing an urban centre with scattered villages.
- Sidi Kacem — A Gharb agricultural province where distances make boarding an essential option at secondary level.
- Sidi Slimane — An irrigated Gharb province whose intensive agriculture affects attendance in certain seasons.
What to do in practice in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region
- The directorate appears on the school attendance certificate. Rabat-Salé-Kénitra has both large urban directorates and rural ones, and their procedures do not move at the same speed
- Always start with the subject teacher: most mark errors are settled at that level without reaching the directorate
- If you do go to the directorate, bring the grade report, the attendance certificate and the date of the test concerned
