In a statement to MAP on the sidelines of a meeting of the Executive Committee and the General Assembly of the federation which were held this weekend in Brussels, Belqasmi, also President of the African School Sport Federation recalled that Morocco assumed, in March 2020 during the ISF General Assembly held in Serbia, the position of vice-president of the federation and had organized in 2018 the championship of the Olympic games for school sport (Gymnasiade), "which made it possible to give an exceptional fame to our country."
Belqasmi, also secretary general of the Department of National Education, said that this edition "gave an important position to Morocco as an African leader in the field of school sport".
He affirmed that the health crisis linked to covid-19 did not prevent Morocco from carrying out a certain number of actions in the educational field by ensuring pedagogical continuity also in the sports field, and relying on technological tools through the broadcasting of sports lessons and activities online and on television to allow students to practice sport at home during lockdown.
