Abstract
Amidst significant reforms in Moroccan higher education designed to enhance educational quality and align with the evolving demands of the job market, this study examined the primary factors influencing students’ quality of life. Using a quantitative methodology, we surveyed students from various Moroccan higher education institutions to assess key elements including the quality of higher education services, academic stress, and financial stress. Structural equation modeling, conducted through SMART-PLS on data from 426 student responses, revealed that higher education quality positively impacts students’ well-being, while academic and financial stress significantly undermine their quality of life, emphasizing the need to address these stressors. These results offer valuable insights for policymakers and education leaders, emphasizing the need to prioritize service quality improvement and stress reduction strategies to foster better educational outcomes and an enhanced student experience.
