2004-12-15

Moroccan schools started teaching Berber in certain areas
The parliamentary group is committed to changing the finance law, especially considering the momentum built up for improving the Moroccan government's commitment to Berber language and culture. Moroccan schools started teaching Berber in certain areas in 2004 and a new awareness of the language and culture emerged. (albawaba.com)
