Abstract: Although Morocco is involved in a process of extensive regionalisation, the country's diversity (social, cultural and geophysics) and the complexity of its territory limited access to basic services and lead to an unequal distribution of education. The objective of this paper is, first, to explore the extent of regional inequalities in terms of performance of the Moroccan educational system, and then show how its inequalities in education can influence other socio-economic inequalities. The results show the existence of glaring disparities between regions. Moreover, inequalities in education determine socio-economic inequalities. Thus, the regional development policy is not exempt from obstacles that may prevent the harmonious development of the Moroccan territory. These results have strong implications for economic policy. The government needs to invest more in reducing inequalities in education in order to reduce economic and social inequalities.
