Andalusia's government removes Arabic language and Moroccan culture classes from schools

Andalusia's regional government will eliminate Arabic language and Moroccan culture classes in nearly 100 schools. This decision stems from a coalition agreement between the PP and VOX parties. The program, PLACM, will not be renewed, impacting Almería province most significantly, which hosts 40% of the participating schools. The new government will also promote respect for Spanish customs. These voluntary, after-school classes originated from a bilateral agreement between Spain and Morocco to help students of Moroccan origin maintain linguistic and cultural ties.
