Nolasco announces the end of the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Program in all Aragon schools

Aragon Vice President Alejandro Nolasco announced Sunday that the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Program will end from the 2026/27 academic year in the 10 Aragonese schools where it was being taught: CEIP Aljafería, CEIP Antonio Beltrán Martínez, CEIP José Camón Aznar, CEIP Luis Vives, CEIP Marcos Frechín, CEIP Puerta de Sancho, CEIP Ramón Sainz de Varanda, CEIP Tío Jorge, Colegio Cantín y Gamboa and Colegio El Carmen y San José.

On April 22, Vox and the People's Party reached a government agreement establishing the end of this program (coordinated by staff from the Moroccan Embassy in Spain and the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, and managed by the autonomous communities) in September 2026.

Nolasco stated that "the end of the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Program is a reality because Vox is in government," adding that "we are seeing that Vox is fulfilling its electoral promises." "No to the Islamization of Europe. And no to the Islamization of Spain," the vice president of the Government of Aragon emphasized.

Vox had already called for the program to be discontinued on November 14, 2025, in the Aragonese Parliament, during the previous legislative term. Similarly, Vox's municipal group in Zaragoza City Council put forward a motion on June 26, 2025, to "request the immediate suspension of the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Program (Plamc) in all educational centers in Spain, particularly in Zaragoza, along with other measures," but failed to secure the support of the other municipal groups.
