The 8 provincial directorates of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima academy
The Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima academy is divided into 8 provincial directorates, from Tanger-Assilah to Ouezzane. 2 operate in urban or peri-urban settings, 6 in coastal, mixed, mountain, rural, urban ones.
| Provincial directorate | Seat | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| Tanger-Assilah | Tanger-Assilah | urban |
| M'diq-Fnideq | M'diq-Fnideq | coastal |
| Tétouan | Tétouan | urban |
| Fahs-Anjra | Fahs-Anjra | rural |
| Larache | Larache | mixed |
| Al Hoceïma | Al Hoceïma | coastal |
| Chefchaouen | Chefchaouen | mountain |
| Ouezzane | Ouezzane | mixed |
Between Tanger-Assilah and Ouezzane the geography and the school structure have little in common. Because these 8 directorates work separately, a delay in one does not affect the others — but it leaves your child waiting alone.
8 directorates, 8 different realities
Between the Mediterranean coast and the mountainous Rif, the region's 8 directorates are nothing alike:
- Tanger-Assilah — A rapidly growing industrial and logistics hub with strong demand for technical and vocational tracks.
- M'diq-Fnideq — A Mediterranean coastal strip whose seasonal tourism shapes the rhythm of some families.
- Tétouan — A historic city in a mountain setting, with long educational traditions and a Spanish-language presence.
- Fahs-Anjra — A rural province on the strait, with rugged terrain and schooling dependent on transport and boarding.
- Larache — An agricultural and coastal province combining an urban centre with a broad rural area in the Loukkos plain.
- Al Hoceïma — A coastal and mountainous Rif province with complex terrain and scattered schools.
- Chefchaouen — A mountainous Rif province where rural girls' schooling is a real challenge and Dar Taliba plays a central role.
- Ouezzane — A mixed province between a historic urban centre and a rural, mountainous hinterland.
What to do in practice in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region
- In the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, travel between coastal towns and mountain areas takes time. Try to settle the matter through the school before any trip
- Write your request in detail: date, subject, mark and teacher's name. A vague request comes back unanswered
- Directorate seats are at Al Hoceïma, Chefchaouen, Fahs-Anjra, Larache, M'diq-Fnideq, Ouezzane, Tanger-Assilah, Tétouan — each one handles only the files of its own schools
The local educational context of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region
Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima stretches across both the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts and contains one of Morocco's most dynamic hubs: Tangier, with its free zone, Mediterranean port and industrial fabric. This growth has created sustained demand for schools and especially for technical and vocational tracks. Conversely, provinces such as Chefchaouen and Fahs-Anjra remain mountainous and rural areas where girls' schooling is a genuine challenge and where boarding facilities and Dar Taliba play an essential role.
