Morocco wins UNESCO Literacy prize.

The Moroccan national education ministry has been awarded the UNESCO 2006 Confucius Literacy Prize for its program on non-formal education.

The program is a national innovative literacy initiative that targets marginalized teenagers from rural areas. The program also aims at guaranteeing the right to education for all, democratising education and promoting good governance.

It gives access to short training courses to enable recently unschooled teens to go back to school and to identify pupils that show a risk of school dropout.
