Samenvatting
Language policy in Morocco is a mechanism whereby
the state has tried to manage social and political
conflict. The current language policy that
recognizes Berber and calls for its mandatory
inclusion in the Moroccan system of education is the
latest apparatus adopted by the state in dealing with
the Berber question in Morocco. Far from its being
simply a linguistic problem, the Berber question is
above all a political movement that uses
ethno-linguistic pleas as a platform for demanding
justice and equal opportunities for its marginalized
people. Several activists and observers have
questioned the sincerity of this venture; others have
gone as far as to suggest that this language policy
is nothing but a political weapon used by the state
to counter the rise of Islamism in Morocco. The
question is whether the Moroccan state will indeed
succeed in implementing this new language policy
after decades of pursing a language policy of
Arabization that shortchanged the Moroccan poor who
needed higher French proficiency to be able to be
able to compete in the job market and contributed to
the marginalization of Berber.
