What really happens when parents allow their kids to accept scholarships such as the ones from Dominica to Morocco? HELL!!! that&#8217;s the best word to describe the unprofessional system that operates within these said scholarship transactions!<\/p>\n<p>Lack of financial assistance from the student&#8217;s own government back home, being escorted to the kingdom of Morocco and then left there as if they were sold by their own government and the parents are made to believe that everything is just fine while the students are the ones suffering!<\/p>\n<p>One would think that I was crazy and that I had no idea what I was talking about or might even ask how I knew all this but I have been doing a special article on the scholarship programs with Moroccan extensions for two months since the 14th of october and I had the opportunity to visit the Cite Universitaire Internationale in Hay Riad Rabbat where I experienced the conditions first hand.<\/p>\n<p>After constructing a survey on the different nationalities the university comprises of, it loomed to me that the worst situation was the DOMINICAN students.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore I decided to focus on that sector. Why the Dominican students? Well for starters, they are the ones furthest from home and they receive the least stipend from their government.<\/p>\n<p>My research has only began but if you are a Dominican citizen, if you know a Dominican or you have thoughts of coming to Morocco to study from Dominica on a scholarship please be cautious or at least receive more information before you do so.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot get down to the basics yet since my research has only began but I assure you that I will most definitely get to the bottom of these bogus scholarship offers which are practically inviting students to undergo harsh and unnecessary treatment just so their government can gain respect or ties with other governments!<\/p>\n<p>DON&#8217;T MAKE YOUR CHILDREN SLAVES TO POLITICS!<\/p>\n<p>The government only allows you to see what they want you to see but the students are the ones who know what they are facing on these so-called government scholarships and I will see to it that their voices are heard!<\/p>\n<p>FIRST DOMINICA then GRENADA! No country is safe I&#8217;m going to expose every government politician for their bogus plots to make ties with one another at the cost of the wellbeing of innocent students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For any parent, it would be a dream come true if their son or daughter was given the opportunity to go abroad and further their studies but what is the reality behind it all?
