Morocco is ready to share with African countries its experience to ensure educational continuity amid the pandemic crisis, Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, Government Spokesman, Saaid Amzazi said on Tuesday.
Speaking at the Forum of UNESCO’s Global Education coalition organized as part of Africa Day celebration, Amzazi highlighted Morocco’s experience in meeting the challenge of educational continuity amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
In response to this situation, several measures have been put in place by the Ministry of Education, to ensure continuity through the experience accumulated in the process of digitization of the education-training system, notably the production of digital content, Amzazi explained.
“We have been able to ensure educational continuity and replace face-to-face school attendance by distance learning,” he said during a ministerial roundtable meeting attended by Ministers of Education of several African countries including Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Congo, and Tunisia.
Another challenge for the Moroccan education system is the “accessibility” of digital content for many young people, especially in rural areas. “To ensure fairness and equal opportunities, it was necessary to develop another method by producing content broadcast on television,” the Minister noted.
“Today, after almost a year and a half, lessons learned are that the pandemic crisis has been a real catalyst for the digitalization process in Morocco,” he said.
