00:17Hello everyone!
00:18Glad to see you again for this new news on Mediantv.
00:23New aerial strikes today on Lebanon,
00:27the day after a murderous day that killed more than 500 people.
00:32Thousands of families fled the bombed areas.
00:40In New York, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Borreta,
00:44put forward yesterday the Royal Initiative for the Atlantic
00:48during a ministerial meeting chaired by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
00:57And still in New York, leaders from around the world
01:00are meeting for the annual UN General Assembly
01:03which opens this Tuesday on the end of a regional war in the Middle East.
01:19New aerial strikes today on Lebanon,
01:23the day after a murderous day that killed more than 500 people.
01:28The vast majority, if not all, are non-armed people
01:33who were in their homes,
01:35said the Lebanese Minister of Health.
01:39This is the heaviest strike since the last war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006.
01:44Hezbollah claimed new aerial strikes last night against Israel.
01:57The situation in Lebanon will be at the heart of discussions
02:00at the UN General Assembly which opens this Tuesday in New York.
02:05Washington, which stands against an Israeli terrestrial invasion of Lebanon,
02:10wants to present concrete ideas during this assembly
02:14to lower tensions at the border between Israel and Lebanon.
02:19On his side, the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs denounces
02:23blind attacks against civilians
02:26and the G7 states believe that no country has won a new escalation in the Middle East.
02:36Another reaction is that of the Iranian president
02:39who claims that Hezbollah cannot stand alone against Israel.
02:44M. Pesachkan said on Tuesday that Hezbollah cannot stand alone.
02:51I quote,
02:52Hezbollah cannot oppose a country that is defended, supported and supplied by Western countries,
02:58European countries and the United States.
03:02The UN is extremely alarmed by the sudden escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
03:11According to the United Nations, tens of thousands of people fled violence this week.
03:18Tens of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes in the last two days
03:23and their numbers continue to increase.
03:26This is a region that has already been devastated by war
03:29and a country that knows only too well the suffering.
03:33This is, on his side, a spokesman for the UN Agency for Refugees, the HCR,
03:38at a press conference in Geneva.
03:44Despite the opening of this new front,
03:46Israeli bombings continue without rest on the Gaza Strip.
03:52A new report published by the Ministry of Health of Hamas
03:56states that more than 41,400 people have been killed by Israel since the beginning of the war,
04:03almost a year ago.
04:05At least 12 people have been killed in the last 24 hours.
04:12And it is in this very tense context that the UN General Assembly opens.
04:17More than 100 heads of state and governments will sit in the tribune for a week,
04:23while the conflict in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip is likely to expand in the region.
04:28Among the heads of state to parade in the tribune,
04:32the new Iranian president, Mr. Odeh Pesetsan,
04:36who will give his first speech at the UN.
04:39Other heads of state include American President Joe Biden,
04:43Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky,
04:46Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
04:49and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
04:57Morocco is committed to implementing the UN Pact for the Future,
05:05which aims to dynamize the multilateral system
05:08in the service of peace and equitable and inclusive development.
05:13Yesterday, the head of state, Aziz Akhnosh, said in New York,
05:18I quote,
05:19It is essential to place peace, stability and development at the heart of the collective action
05:25and to adopt a global and integrated approach based on dialogue and mutual respect.
05:37And still in New York, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Borreta,
05:41put forward the Royal Initiative for the Atlantic
05:44at a ministerial meeting yesterday,
05:47chaired by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
05:50launched in 2022 by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
05:54This initiative is an ambitious cooperation strategy
05:59aimed at promoting stability and prosperity in the African region of the Atlantic,
06:04underlined Nasser Borreta during this meeting,
06:08under the theme of Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation.
06:13As a reminder, the African Atlantic Facade comprises 23 countries
06:17and concentrates 40% of inter-African trade.
06:25Nasser Borreta, who took advantage of this tribune
06:28to emphasize the constant support of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
06:32President of the Al-Quds Committee,
06:34to the cause and the Palestinian people,
06:37expressed himself at a ministerial meeting
06:40of the Non-Aligned Movement
06:42during this 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
06:47The head of Moroccan diplomacy
06:49indicated that the Kingdom placed the Palestinian question
06:53at the same level as its first national cause
06:56and made a statement on its foreign policy.
07:01Direction of the United Kingdom
07:03with the coup d'envoi of the Labour Party Congress.
07:06Prime Minister Keir Starmer
07:08tries to inspire a little optimism
07:11and reassure his supporters,
07:13ensuring that the light is at the end of the tunnel.
07:16The state of grace will not last long
07:19for the 62-year-old head of government,
07:22who came to power after the large victory of Labour
07:25during the legislative elections
07:27of 4 July.
07:29It had been 15 years
07:31since the Labour Party
07:33had held an annual congress
07:35while in government.
07:37Direction of Nigeria
07:39where the heavy rains
07:41that have been falling
07:43since May
07:45on the country
07:47have dragged the report
07:49this Friday of the return to school.
07:51Several schools have been damaged
07:53by the floods
07:55that affect the 8 regions of the country.
07:58And if Zinder and Maradi
08:00remain the most affected regions,
08:02in Niamey, the capital,
08:04the damage is also clearly visible,
08:06as our correspondent Jean-Gibril William shows us.
08:11His house is already under water.
08:13It is in this small hut
08:15that Assi Moumouni has found refuge
08:17for a few days.
08:19But for this octogenarian,
08:21the threat is still present.
08:23In September,
08:25floodwaters continue to fall
08:27on the Nigerian capital
08:29and with it the inexorable rise
08:31of the Niger river waters.
08:33I have already lost my house
08:35and I also risk losing this hut.
08:37The rains are getting stronger
08:39as the season should come to an end.
08:41I have been living here for 50 years
08:43and I have never seen this.
08:45A season of long-term rains
08:47that threaten the banks of the river
08:49but not only.
08:51The rains recorded since May
08:53have not failed to cause damage.
08:55Real seagulls crossing the streets,
08:57flooded dwellings
08:59and for some,
09:01collapsed under the weight of the waters.
09:03Consequences of a flood
09:05that some consider unprecedented.
09:07I am 66 years old
09:09and I have never seen
09:11so much rain in a single season.
09:13My house is completely flooded
09:15and many others in our neighborhood
09:17are threatened to collapse.
09:20The rains are stopping
09:22as the whole city is under water.
09:24Our houses are flooded
09:26and it is difficult to go to work
09:28as the roads are flooded.
09:30It rains almost every day
09:32and it can last for several hours.
09:34An exceptional amount of rain
09:36is also the observation
09:38made by the director
09:40of the meteorology of Niger.
09:42According to Lawan Kachilou,
09:44the season of rains still ongoing
09:46would have already recorded
09:48several records
09:50and should constitute the trend
09:52of the coming years.
09:54At least in the four regions
09:56of the locality,
09:58there have been accidents
10:00of more than 500,000 meters.
10:02This is huge.
10:04500,000 meters is the rain
10:06of a season.
10:08This is an accident.
10:10In addition to what they are able
10:12to have, they have 500,000 meters.
10:14I believe that this is the trend
10:16of the coming years.
10:46The objective is to explore
10:48the opportunities offered
10:50thanks to sustainable fishing
10:52and to raise the challenge
10:54of food sovereignty.
10:56This is a report
10:58by Daudassault and Moussad Diar.
11:00It is Dakar that the regional office
11:02of the FAO has chosen
11:04to host the 20th session
11:06of the Continental Fishing Committee
11:08and Aquaculture in Africa.
11:10The latter also constitutes
11:12sustainable solutions
11:14to reduce natural resources.
11:16Today, we are forced
11:18to find other alternatives.
11:20Continental fishing,
11:22which has been neglected so far,
11:24and aquaculture
11:26are the safe ways
11:28to achieve food security
11:30and food sovereignty,
11:32which is one of the objectives
11:34of the project,
11:36which is the benchmark
11:38of public policies in Senegal.
11:40The FAO also accompanies
11:42the public policies
11:44on achieving food sovereignty.
11:46We work a lot
11:48with countries,
11:50for example,
11:52to update their legal
11:54and economic environment
11:56to promote aquaculture.
11:58This is one of our strong points
12:00because we are above all
12:02an organization of knowledge
12:04before even being an organization
12:06of funding.
12:08This is the area we work in.
12:10We work mainly on the demand
12:12of the countries.
12:14It is up to the countries
12:16to express their needs
12:18and identify the areas
12:20where they think the FAO
12:22has comparative advantages.
12:24Senegal has had an agency
12:26in charge of aquaculture
12:28since 2006.
12:30Despite everything,
12:32aquaculture production
12:34is still struggling
12:36to meet the expectations
12:38of the Senegalese community.
12:40Two weeks ago,
12:42during a trip to China,
12:44the General Director
12:46of the Aquaculture Agency
12:48was in the delegation
12:50and we were able to form partnerships
12:52with the Chinese
12:54who will come to Senegal
12:56to invest in aquaculture.
12:58I would also like to show you
13:00the importance of this subsector
13:02of aquaculture
13:04as well as of continental fishing.
13:06There are many questions
13:08about food security
13:10and food sovereignty.
13:12This meeting was organized
13:14by the Ministry of Agriculture
13:16to give an important place
13:18to aquaculture and continental fishing.
13:20The United Nations
13:22Committee on Food
13:24and Agriculture,
13:26FAO, aims to promote
13:28the sustainable management
13:30of continental fishing
13:32and aquaculture resources in Africa.
13:34Thanks to cooperation,
13:36research, regulation
13:38and capacity strengthening.
13:42In Morocco,
13:44on the 17th edition
13:46of the International Film Festival
13:48of Women in Salé,
13:50this 17th edition is held
13:52at Cinema Hollywood
13:54in the presence of emblematic figures
13:56of the 7th art and personalities
13:58of the artistic world,
14:00culture and media.
14:02From 23rd to 28th September,
14:04by the Bolle Greg Association,
14:06this festival is an opportunity
14:08for women filmmakers
14:10to share their experiences
14:12and expertise
14:14and discuss women's condition
14:16through film productions.
14:26A true icon of Moroccan
14:28and African sports journalism,
14:30Bleyd Bouimid left us
14:32last night at the age of 66.
14:34The journalist and caricaturist
14:36was one of the consequences
14:38of a long struggle against the disease
14:40after the deterioration of his health.
14:42The native of Jdida
14:44had started his career
14:46in the written press
14:48before spending long years
14:50at the radio where he animated
14:52the Marsatec show.
14:54In addition to writing and radio,
14:56Bleyd Bouimid had a great passion
14:58for writing and caricature.
15:00He organized several exhibitions
15:02in Morocco and France.
15:08This new weather alert
15:10in Morocco,
15:12with an orange alert this time.
15:14A weather alert that once again
15:16concerns the southern region.
15:18Storms accompanied by hail
15:20and gusts of wind
15:22are expected today
15:24in some provinces of the kingdom.
15:26The General Directorate of Meteorology
15:28expects thunderstorms
15:30between 20 and 30 mm
15:32that will interest the provinces
15:34of Oued Dahab and Ousad all day long.
15:40And what brings us to the last
15:42weather report in the south of Morocco,
15:44in Tata, 10 people
15:46have died and 7
15:48are still missing
15:50following the accident of the bus
15:52carried by the crews
15:54of Watata.
15:56This is the new report provided
15:58by the Provincial Delegation of Health
16:00and Social Protection.
16:02According to the Provincial Delegate
16:04of Health, Elhabib Aznag,
16:06all participants
16:08have mobilized
16:10all logistical and human resources
16:12to continue the search operation
16:14for the missing people.
16:16And now,
16:18let's hear from our guest
16:20of the midday
16:22to talk about
16:24the educational system.
16:26The return to school this year
16:28is marked by the acceleration
16:30of pioneering schools
16:32and their deployment in new regions
16:34of the kingdom.
16:36According to a recent assessment,
16:38pioneering schools have provided
16:40answers to some gaps
16:42in our educational system.
16:44What role do they play
16:46and can we already assess
16:48their impact on our students'
16:50educational level?
16:52We are live from Rabat
16:54with Abdessar Nagy,
16:56President of the Moroccan Association
16:58for the Improvement of Education Quality
17:00in Makine,
17:02an expert and researcher in education.
17:04Mr. Nagy, hello.
17:06Hello and thank you for the invitation.
17:08Thank you for being with us.
17:10First of all,
17:12what is the pioneering project
17:14introduced by the last reform
17:16of education in Morocco?
17:18The pioneering school project
17:20aims to transform
17:22education in Morocco
17:24through the implementation
17:26of three objectives
17:28of the road map
17:302022-2026,
17:32i.e. to double the rate
17:34of students who master
17:36basic learning,
17:38to reduce a third
17:40of students'
17:42participation in school activities.
17:44The Ministry of Education
17:46hopes to achieve this objective
17:48by implementing four objectives
17:50at the level of the pioneering schools,
17:52i.e. to support students
17:54in order to help them
17:56catch up with the gaps
17:58of accumulated learning
18:00over the years.
18:02Secondly, explicit teaching,
18:04which is in a way a remake
18:06of the famous Moukmar method
18:08inspired by the traditional
18:10language of its time,
18:12and its decomposition
18:14from simple
18:16to complex,
18:18without teaching
18:20a knowledge
18:22that only those
18:24who have mastered
18:26well the necessary
18:28content
18:30of these schools
18:32are able
18:34to obtain.
18:36In order to provide
18:38these schools
18:40with all the necessary resources
18:42in order to
18:44reward
18:46the performing schools,
18:48which sets an example
18:50of course
18:52to
18:54put in place
18:56a policy
18:58of standardization
19:00of practices at the level
19:02of these schools.
19:04In the meantime,
19:06we are working on the reference frame
19:08of the quality stipulated in
19:10Law 51-17
19:22to improve
19:24the quality
19:26of learning.
19:28It seems that
19:30the material conditions
19:32of these schools
19:34are good.
19:36But should we say
19:38that
19:40these schools
19:42are not
19:44good?
19:48Do you hear me, Madam?
19:50Mr. Abnassar Neji,
19:52we are speaking
19:54about these
19:56pioneering schools,
19:58newly introduced by
20:00the Moroccan Ministry of Education.
20:02You have reminded us
20:04that this is a reform,
20:06an experiment that will be carried out
20:08between 2022 and 2026
20:10with well-determined
20:12objectives.
20:14The question today
20:16is to know
20:18if these objectives
20:20are achieved,
20:22at least in this first part
20:24of the experiment
20:26or rather of the deployment
20:28of new pioneering schools
20:30in several regions
20:32of the Kingdom.
20:34Is this the case for you,
20:36Mr. Abnassar Neji?
20:44Mr. Abnassar Neji,
20:46do you hear me?
20:48So,
20:50we were talking
20:52about pioneering schools.
20:54I rephrase the question.
20:56Are these pioneering schools
20:58deployed everywhere
21:00in the Kingdom
21:02and which have a fixed objective,
21:04well-determined objectives
21:06between 2022 and 2026,
21:08are they achieving
21:10some of these objectives today?
21:12You can repeat the question,
21:14Madam,
21:16because I did not hear the entirety
21:18of the question.
21:20You were talking earlier
21:22about objectives between 2022
21:24and 2026 that are well-determined.
21:26Are there any evaluations
21:28that inform us
21:30on the fact
21:32that this reform has reached
21:34these objectives or not?
21:36Yes,
21:38the Ministry of Education
21:40tells us that there are
21:42evaluations.
21:44There are internal evaluations
21:46that were carried out
21:48by the Ministry itself
21:50last year.
21:52And there are evaluations
21:54that are carried out
21:56by external parties.
21:58According to the Ministry,
22:00there are three evaluations
22:02that have been carried out.
22:04There is an evaluation
22:06carried out by the NDS.
22:08This evaluation
22:10is of a qualitative nature
22:12and not quantitative.
22:14Its objective
22:16is not to evaluate
22:18the quality of pioneering schools,
22:20i.e. the impact of pioneering schools
22:22on learning,
22:24but only to see
22:26the availability
22:28of the means
22:30that have been gathered
22:32within these institutions
22:34and the human resources
22:36that are involved
22:38in these pioneering schools
22:40without having
22:42to apply
22:44the directive
22:46of the Ministry
22:48to improve the quality
22:50of learning.
22:52In a sense, they want to know
22:54whether there is a total
22:56implication of these teachings
22:58and these human resources
23:00within these institutions.
23:02The NDS study
23:04has been able
23:06to say
23:08that there are
23:10favorable conditions
23:12for the success of this project,
23:14but perhaps
23:16what needs to be blamed
23:18for this NDS study
23:20is that there were
23:22some flaws
23:24in the sample
23:26that was used.
23:28It is a non-representative sample
23:30because there were
23:32few students
23:34who participated
23:36in this evaluation.
23:38At the same time,
23:40there were few schools
23:42that participated,
23:44five primary schools,
23:46which does not allow
23:48to truly say
23:50whether the NDS study
23:52was a reliable study
23:54or a study that
23:56was revealed by this study.
23:58There is a second study
24:00that concerns
24:02the evaluation of learning
24:04and the impact of the NDS study
24:06on learning,
24:08one carried out by
24:10the National Evaluation Institute,
24:12of which we do not know
24:14the results until now,
24:16so we cannot confirm
24:18whether the impact is there or not.
24:20The second study
24:22was carried out by
24:24the J-PAL
24:26intervention laboratory
24:28in collaboration with
24:30the University of
24:32Political Physics.
24:34The NDS study
24:36until now
24:38does not give
24:40the results of this evaluation.
24:42It was carried out
24:44a few days ago,
24:46but these studies
24:48do not give the details
24:50of this study.
24:52There is a positive
24:54impact on
24:56the quality of learning,
24:58but we can already say
25:00that the elements on which
25:02these primary schools are based
25:04naturally allow
25:06to improve the quality of learning,
