The quality of governance and teaching public administration are two interrelated issues that were addressed together, especially in the case of an emerging country as Morocco (UN, 2007). Previous research shows evidence of a strong correlation between education and, more specifically, higher education, and the current stage of structures for the modern state through training (Jaramillo, 2013). This research explored the Moroccan experience in its endeavor toward a more democratic government through more effective public administration and the ability of public administrators to meet new and more complex challenges. This article discusses the evolution of the higher education system, focusing on the teaching of public administration. In the process of public sector leadership capacity development, both colleges and universities, and management development institutes, have critical roles to play. Morocco is an ongoing process as of 2014.
