“Green Schools” in Casablanca: 48 Educational Institutions Benefit with 812 Sorting Bins Installed in 2025
A total of 48 public elementary schools benefited from the third edition of the awareness program “Green Schools,” which concluded recently and was one of the most prominent educational initiatives in Casablanca in 2025.
The Casablanca municipality and the local development company “Casablanca Environment” stated in a joint statement that since its launch in 2022 by the local development company under the municipality’s supervision and in partnership with the regional education and training academy for the Casablanca-Settat region, the program has aimed to instill a culture of cleanliness and responsible environmental behaviors among the youth, reaching 128 public elementary schools across various districts of the kingdom’s economic capital.
The same source indicated that this third edition incorporated two charitable associations in a bid to broaden the base of beneficiaries and enhance the initiative’s solidarity aspect.
In 2025, the third edition of the “Green Schools” program experienced continuous dynamics, starting its activities on March 25, 2025, at Fatima Al-Burkadi Elementary School in the Sbata district. This was followed by organizing field sessions at several educational institutions in different Casablanca districts, including Al-Shafshani Elementary School in the Ain Seba district, attended by Ahmed Afailal, the deputy mayor of Casablanca in charge of the cleanliness sector, alongside several local officials and institutional partners, demonstrating the commitment of various stakeholders to the success of this educational and environmental project.
On the equipment front, in 2025, 812 dual sorting bins were installed within the beneficiary institutions, averaging 16 bins per institution, alongside the placement of 1,000 informational guidance panels aimed at promoting proper waste management practices within school environments and ensuring the program’s impact is sustainable.
The “Green Schools” program also focused on a diverse pedagogical content that combined awareness and entertainment, particularly including interactive awareness workshops led by a qualified team of awareness facilitators on environmental cleanliness and waste management, employing a 3D model that simulates the waste journey from neighborhoods to the controlled landfill.
Additionally, according to the statement, the program featured simplified educational capsules “SAGA NASSUH” with an awareness dimension, educational activities about sorting and cleanliness professions, along with an incentive system to award students the title of “Cleanliness Ambassadors” and certificates of appreciation, alongside distributing illustrated stories for children and participation certificates for the educational institutions.
The program was implemented in two phases, ensuring it did not coincide with examination periods, thus guaranteeing effective guidance and supporting the sustainability of its educational impact in the medium and long term.
Through this report, Casablanca Environment reaffirms its ongoing commitment to supporting local public cleanliness policies and contributing to nurturing a conscious and responsible generation, in line with the objectives of the “Clean Casablanca” campaign aimed at making Casablanca a clean, smart, and sustainable city.
