UK facilitates English proficiency test process for Moroccan students

Relations between the United and Moroccan Kingdoms are moving forward toward strengthening joint cooperation in the fields of higher education and scientific research, as evidenced by the outcomes of the 5th meeting of “the Commission on Higher Education Kingdom of Morocco-United Kingdom” held on Wednesday at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London.

This meeting resulted in signing a “memorandum of understanding” between the Moroccan Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Abdellatif Miraoui and the British Council. A source from the ministry explained to Hespress that the aim of this memorandum is to “support the process of English Language certification for the benefit of Moroccan students.”

English Language certificates like the IELTS or the TOEFL, among others, are considered the keys that open doors to priceless opportunities for ambitious and aspiring Moroccan students, whether it be for academic, immigration, employment, or personal development.

Thanks to the agreement, the students will benefit from English certification tests in this language at preferential prices. The aforementioned source adds that “This signature is another step towards Moroccan universities’ effective initiation to implementing the national plan, which involves a transformation of the ‘higher education, scientific research, and innovation’ system, and includes empowering Moroccan students with advanced language skills in foreign languages, including English.”

According to the details of the meeting obtained by the electronic newspaper Hespress, Lord Ahmed of Wimbledon stressed, during his speech to the Moroccan delegation, that ” high-quality education is the way to change lives and livelihoods.”

In a panel discussion on “the most important skills in the various stages of education and how to develop them through teaching, learning and care,” Miraoui stressed, according to the same source, “the importance of including power skills in training programs in order to enhance youth’s ability to be flexible, steadfast, and adapt in the face of a constantly changing world.”.

He also highlighted the current challenges facing higher education systems, especially those related to the need to adapt their systems and keep pace with technological developments, such as new artificial intelligence applications.
