Nah I think OP is right. Googling around the story seems mostly made up for bragging points. It also started as religious school not sciences 100% and probably did more harm than good for women's rights considering Morocco is at the very fucking bottom (137th).

Interesting that googling would take precedence over UNESCO or Guinness in a science community of all places. Guinness particularly is known to have rigorous quality standards.

I'm going to trust actual organizations with institutional standards over a Google search. That's just me though. Other readers can draw their own conclusions.
