Casablanca Private School EC #7

We also visited a Casablanca private high school. 

We were given a tour of the school by the headmaster, shown in a magenta sweater. 

Extra Credit Question #7

Tuition for this school is $1600 - $1800 dirhams (Moroccan currency) a month. 

What is the exchange rate from dirhams to US dollars?

How many dirhams can someone get for $1 USD (US dollar)

How much is the school's tuition in USD per month? per year?

 The differences between public and private school in Morocco reminded me of some of the differences between public and private schools in the U.S. What do you think they are?
