Yes that’s correct
However, in all public communications, the Moroccan government never mentioned at what time the switch to GMT+1 would happen exactly.
For sure we know that the switch back to GMT will happen on last Sunday of September at 2h59:59 am and therefore the switch to GMT+1 would happen the last Sunday of April (29 I think) at 1h59:59 am

Well, that certainly helps with the timeline for deployment of this change.
Not a native French speaker, but here is my rough translation of the announcement:
Daylight saving time was postponed to late April. Mustapha El Khalfi, Communications Minister and government spokesman, announced a delay of one month for daylight saving time. In fact, the transition to summer time, to be brought forward by 60 minutes, will be from the last Sunday of April and not late March, as previously announced. This decision was made after discussion of proposals to take into consideration the requirements of education, explains El Khalfi, at the conclusion of the Governing Council which was held yesterday.

L’heure d’été reportée à fin Avril. Mustapha El Khalfi, ministre de la Communication et porte-parole du gouvernement, annonce un délai de un mois pour l’heure d’été. En effet, le passage à l’horaire estival, soit avancé de 60 minutes, se fera à partir du dernier dimanche d’avril et non fin mars, comme annoncé précédemment. Cette décision a été prise après discussion des propositions appelant à prendre en considération les impératifs de la scolarité, explique El Khalfi, à l’issue du Conseil de gouvernement qui s’est tenue hier.
