Education Minister Abdellatif Miraoui, accompanied by a high-level ministerial delegation, paid a working visit to the United Kingdom to strengthen strategic partnerships between the two countries in the fields of higher education and training.

On this occasion, the Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation participated in the Education World Forum, the largest annual gathering of education and skills ministers at the international level, which took place in London from 7 to 10 May.

The event brought together leaders of international organizations, including UNESCO, the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the British Council, and more than 124 education ministers from around the world, said the ministry in a statement. During the minister’s intervention, he emphasized the importance of incorporating power skills into educational programs and strengthening the capacity of young people to improve their adaptability and resilience in the face of an ever-changing world.

He also recalled the current challenges facing higher education systems, including the adaptation and capacity to accompany technological developments such as new tools of artificial intelligence as Chatgpt, adds the release.

The minister also shared the Moroccan experience in the reform of higher education, research and innovation through the new strategy PACTE ESRI launched until 2030.

On the sidelines of the World Education Forum, according to the same source, Miraoui and the British Minister of State for the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and the United Nations, Lord Tariq Ahmad of Wimbledon, chaired Wednesday at the headquarters of the Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), with the participation of the Ambassador of King Mohammed VI to the United Kingdom, Hakim Hajoui, the 5th meeting of the Commission on Higher Education Kingdom of Morocco-United Kingdom.
