Students’ Perception of the Student Support Service

Abstract

In the last two decades, students’ enrollment in Moroccan higher education has increased, and so has the student attrition phenomenon. To retain students until degree completion, the educational reforms carried out since 1999 have encouraged institutions to provide students with support services but have left institutions free to conceive their support policy. As a result, student tutoring and coaching have become popular in some universities. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these two types of support from the students’ perspective and the student support service they need. First, these types of support are described briefly. Second, it is demonstrated through a survey and a pilot project on students’ perception of the student support services in a higher limited admissions institution that students’ needs go beyond academic tutoring. Coaching, as psycho-social support, is gaining students’ interest.
