Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, first identified in Wuhan, China, was first confirmed to be present in Morocco on the 2nd of March 2020. It swiftly took hold in Moroccan society and spread like wildfire. This led to a surge in deaths, those needing extra and intensive care, and generalised anxiety amongst the population. There was perceived dissatisfaction in how the Moroccan government was handling the crisis, and accordingly, on the 13th of March, schools and universities were closed until further notice. Education was then conducted remotely- on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, via email and other platforms. This study examines how final-year undergraduate university students felt during this period, and how they felt that the (ongoing) COVID-19 pandemic has affected them, their lives and their studies. This study is important, as the pandemic is ongoing, and despite vaccination efforts, there is the potential for new variants to come into existence and to cause for a recurrence of the issues faced by university students and the wider society to which they belong. It is also in that this area of research is under-researched because the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and that the issues faced by Moroccan university students and general population are tremendously neglected in academic literature, particularly in English-language literature. Therefore, this study examines the concerns, worries, grievances and anxieties of Moroccan final-year undergraduate students, and sheds light on a population sample that is often neglected and forgotten.

Abstract

This research aims to examine (a) the historical context of the Moroccan Green March and (b) the impact of this profound social, political, economic, military, and religious event on modern day Moroccan society and culture. this research adopted a mixed-methods approach, with the qualitative approach being substantially dominant, so that the authentic and unfettered views of Moroccan citizens can be presented. In respect of statecraft, the Kingdom of Morocco has performed admirably. As per the US Department of State, “The Kingdom of Morocco claims the territory of Western Sahara and administers the territory that it controls”. This shows that the Green March has led to concrete steps, on the ground action, and the development of the region. It is further stated that “Moroccan law and practice apply [in Western Sahara]. The impetus for this action came from within society, not from the Monarch of government. The Green March has a substantial effect on Moroccan society to this day, and songs are sung about it (such as ‘Sawt El Hassan’) and postage stamps are issued to commemorate the momentous event.

Abstract

This essay seeks to uncover, examine and analyse the provision of Islamic education in both Indonesia and South Korea. Comparisons were made in respect of infrastructure, curriculum, scope and reach, professionalism, funding and other areas, and potential for improvements identified. By examining existing research, publications, newspaper articles, journal publications, statistics and other data and information sources, it is apparent that Korea is severely lacking in Islamic education provisions, whereas this is not generally the case in Indonesia. This is primarily owing to demographic, historical and social reasons. However, with the declining population of Korea, and a birth-rate unable to reach even a stable replacement-rate, Korea will be forced to meet labour needs by way of immigration. Accordingly, with the arrival of more Muslim workers, and a higher number of Muslim students, the Muslim of population is likely to significantly increase, as will the rate of Korean Muslims by way of conversion to Islam.
