The materials will help contribute to Morocco's 'Emergency Plan for Education and Training' (Chinese: “教育和培训紧急计划”). The CRS Sector was coded as '110 - Education' because the donations of school buses and solar power generation equipment are meant to support Morocco's effort to promote schooling, especially in rural areas.
