2. Fill in each blank with a suitable collocation: university degree - fight illiteracy - non-formal education - private institution - formal education - mixed education - free access - higher education Education is a priority issue in Morocco. Formal education is that type of education which students get in a formally-organized school. This type of education is recognized in a qualification or a certificate. In non-formal education, the government aims mainly to fight illiteracy. It is the adult education. That is, most people who attend these classes are old. In most Moroccan schools, we have mixed education. This means that both boys and girls study together. In the Moroccan educational system, everybody has free access to education, which means that you can attend a public school if you don’t have money to go to a private institution. Both the students who attend public and private schools do higher education and they get a university degree upon their graduation.
