LYCÉE MÉDITERRANÉEN (MEDITERRANEAN HIGH SCHOOL): SELECTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR

The scientific preparatory classes of excellence supported by Tanger Med Group and its Foundation have started their selection campaign for the 2022-2023 academic year. Organized in Roadshows, the objective is to introduce the Lycée Méditerranéen (LYMED) and the preparatory classes system to deserving high school graduates.

The school’s management teams have travelled to different regions of the Kingdom to visit numerous high schools and present the model of excellence that LYMED is part of, while helping to inform high school graduates about the career opportunities available to them.

The Roadshows took place over a period of more thannthree months and allowed the teams to meet with more than 2,600 high school graduates and first-year MPSI students from 78 high schools across Morocco. The presentations of the teams were well received by the students and the supervisory staff of the visited high schools, who were able to ask insightful questions and clarify many doubts about their postbac orientation.

The Roadshows campaign ended on March 26th with an Open Day in which LYMED’s first-year students actively participated. LYMED welcomed more than 300 visitors. Graduates, parents, and guidance counselors were given an introduction to the school’s pedagogical approach and the campus facilities, thus benefiting from an immersion in the daily life of LYMED students. The program included presentations on studying at the CPGE d’excellence, scientific experiments, and guided tours led by the students.

GOODWILL, A VALUE IN ACTION

Goodwill is one of the four values of the Lycée Méditerranéen. Convinced that it is a key vector of performance, the teams ensure that it is instilled and complied within the relationships that students have with their peers, staff, but also with the local communities and the territory in which they evolve.

The holy month of Ramadan was a first opportunity for the students to become familiar with the world of volunteerism. In partnership with the Association Génération Challenge of Fnideq, a collective Iftar for the benefit of children in need was organized by the LYMED teams with the active participation of the students.

More than a meal, this Iftar was an opportunity for the students to exchange with the children and teenagers present, in particular on the importance of studies, and the need to establish a strong ambition for their future. Closed by a show hosted by the children of the school, the evening was full of interest, both for the children and for the students of LYMED. In addition, and in the continuity of the associative work
undertaken, a blood donation day was organized within the school with the valuable collaboration of the Regional Center of Blood Transfusion of Tétouan. This was an opportunity for all the students, faculty, and administrative staff to demonstrate their commitment to citizenship.

“Give your blood to make the world’s heart beat”, a slogan that resounded within the walls of the Lycée, raising awareness among the young people for a crucial mobilization for many of our fellow citizens.

THE CULTURE OF SPORTS

Sports are a key factor in the success of students in preparatory classes, promoting better concentration, team spirit, and physical fitness, allowing them to approach the Grandes Écoles exams under optimal conditions.

The LYMED campus has nearly 12,000 square meters of sports facilities that allow for regular sports practice among students but also among the entire school community.

The month of Ramadan was the occasion to organize two sports tournaments. The first one brought together the students of LYMED and their colleagues from the preparatory classes of Tétouan. The LYMED students won the women’s and men’s basketball finals and lost to the students of the CPGE of Tétouan in the men’s soccer final. This event was an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the two schools and to hone the students’ competitive skills.

A second tournament was organized, this time for LYMED employees as well as employees of neighboring businesses. The event, which lasted the whole month of Ramadan, was a real success with the participation of about ten teams. The final was won by the team made up of LYMED employees and members of the CIRES Technologies subsidiary against the Tanger Med Zones subsidiary. Representatives of the local authorities as well as the Group’s Top Management were invited to present the medals to the finalists.
