Although the adult literacy rate remains low, primary education is free and compulsory for all children between the ages of 7 and 13, and about 75% of them attend school. Enrollment in secondary and higher education is much lower. The Islamic University of Karouine (859) and the secular Muhammad V University (1957) are the country’s major institutions of higher education. The national library, on the campus of Muhammad V University, contains an excellent collection of medieval manuscripts.
Health-care facilities are being expanded, but diseases such as malaria, typhoid, trachoma, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections remain widespread.
Cultural Activity
Under the Almoravids and the Almohads the Moorish architectural style developed (see Moorish art and architecture). Moorish philosophers, including Averroes, translated the works of Aristotle and other ancient Greek writers. Two major contemporary literary figures are the novelists Ahmed Sefrioui and Driss Chribi, both of whom write in French.
Daily newspapers are published in both Arabic and French. The government subsidizes a national folk-dance company that preserves traditional Berber dances.
