Within the scope of an academic partnership agreement signed between schools in five French cities (Bordeaux, Lille, Nantes, Montpellier and Marseilles) and schools from Moroccan cities (Agadir, Al Hoceima, El Jadida, Marrakech and Tangier-Tetouan), academicians from the schools in Nantes and El Jadida will meet in a series of workshops in mid-September and October. Montpellier and Marrakech are also envisaged to hold three seminars by the end of 2005 with the aim of exploring common ways to increase the quality of teaching in these two cities.
