Abstract

Before emphasizing economic development and institutional quality, an adequate risk management policy must be activated by Moroccan public higher education in order to allow a structured approach while achieving the assigned objectives. The higher education system in Morocco has gone through several reforms including Law 01.00 of 2000 and the LMD system, etc. Indeed, the report published in 2018 by the Higher Council for Education, Training and Scientific Research (CSEFRS) showed the duality in the university system in Morocco. In this context, this article proposes to answer the following question: what are the risks that influence the higher education system in Morocco? And what are the corrective actions to be taken to reduce its exposure to these risks? This exploratory research highlights the crucial importance of the use of risk mapping as an essential tool for consolidating performance within an open-access academic institution. The results of this research show that the current educational system in Morocco is affected by a multitude of risks of a strategic, operational, technological, pedagogical, and socio-economic nature, as well as the criticality of the latter is generally high.
