The government council approved Wednesday a draft decree for the creation of a National Higher School for Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences in Taroudant, under the auspices of Ibn Zohr University in Agadir.

The university annex in Berkane will transform a national school for artificial intelligence and digitization, affiliated with Mohammed I University in Oujda.

This move aims to equip the country with specialized engineering schools aligned with universities to cultivate a workforce capable of navigating the challenges of digital transformation.

The government has also endorsed the establishment of three new universities of medicine and pharmacy in Errachidia, Beni Mellal, and Guelmim. This initiative aligns with the national agenda to bolster the healthcare workforce, as outlined in the framework agreement signed between the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.

The government emphasizes that these new educational institutions will ensure equitable regional distribution of educational opportunities, aligning with the nation’s development priorities and socio-economic needs.
