description | This article is devoted to Moroccan engineers, most of whom have been trained in prestigious engineering colleges in France. They represent a minority compared to the rest of engineers who attended higher education schools in Morocco, yet their privileged positions have almost given them an aristocratic status. This is quite representative of the unequal social structure of Morocco and of the role played by its monarchic regime - the Makhzen - which tends to favor the technocratic and social elite. This study purports to show how such domination of the economic and political life of the country by a few chosen persons has generated a counter-reaction. Second-rate higher education establishments attended by middle class students have been an ideal breeding ground for Islamic fundamentalism. Today, they turn out a political and social elite craving for recognition and real power. |
