Abstract

This chapter examines international student mobility in Morocco, revealing another dimension of student mobility, which is often treated as physical displacement. It presents the enduring importance of physical mobility among Moroccan students and the influence of globalization through technology on the perception or conviction of a significant number of students who have chosen virtual mobility over physical mobility. The education system and the labor market in Morocco favor physical student mobility over virtual mobility. In this chapter, we show how the thoughts and traditions inherited from previous generations and politics can directly and indirectly influence our perceptions and decisions regarding migration. Crossing geographical borders to undertake international student mobility will greatly help Moroccan graduates overcome social and professional barriers after their return. Since the protectorate, student migration has become a social determinant that shapes the identity of both students and employers.
