An impressive 41 Moroccan students were accepted to the prestigious French Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, out of the 60 spots allocated to foreign students.
This constitues a considerable jump from last year’s 16 Moroccans admitted.
The second largest admitted nationality was Tunisia (10), followed by students from Algeria, Austria, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Romania and the Czech Republic, with one spot per nationality.
Moroccan students often excel in competitive examinations at France’s top engineering schools, such as the Polytechnique, as they’re most often the top admitted nationality.
