Summary
In Morocco, particularly within the historic Medina of Fez, non-formally educated individuals often achieve equivalent social and professional status to their school-educated peers. This challenges the perceived necessity of formal schooling in low-income contexts, where its utility is frequently debated. The study reveals that those who bypassed traditional education rely on local learning systems for knowledge acquisition, suggesting alternative pathways to societal integration. Rather than mere survival, this dynamic may reflect broader transformations in how knowledge and social mobility are conceptualized.
