In a webinar organized under the theme "From pedagogical continuity to resilient education systems: How to learn and teach in the 21st Century," as part of Moroccan-US cooperation in education, training and scientific research and the efforts of Moroccan universities in distance education, Amzazi highlighted the important partnership between the US Embassy and his department, particularly through USAID and MCC programs.
According to a statement by the ministry, he also presented the experience of the Moroccan university in distance education and stressed the importance of the appropriation of educational technologies.
"Our objective is to set up a platform ensuring pedagogical continuity and evaluation of learning, in order to structure this rich portfolio of experiences capitalized by universities and to perpetuate distance learning in Morocco," he noted.
For his part, minister delegate for Higher Education and Scientific Research, Driss Ouaouicha said that "thanks to the impressive commitment and mobilization of teacher-researchers to ensure the continuity of learning in the context of confinement, students have been able to follow their courses from home," adding that it is now a matter of capitalizing on these achievements to promote the use of technology for teaching and learning.
The US ambassador to Morocco, David Fischer, in his turn, estimated that "there is no other sector in which the partnership between the United States and Morocco is more evident than that of education", adding that "US investments in the Moroccan education system amount, to date, to 2 billion and a half dirhams".
"Together, we are reinventing how Moroccan students learn to read, how secondary schools self-govern, how vocational training centres and universities prepare their students for the job market, and how the private sector can contribute to education in Morocco," he stressed.
