The "Classes Connectées Dir iddik" program, an initiative of the Al Mada Foundation in collaboration with Morocco's Ministry of National Education, is set to expand to 150 rural primary schools across the country. This year's phase will see 40 new schools equipped and renovated, bringing the total number of schools benefiting from the program to 150 since its launch in 2021. The program aims to reduce digital inequalities and provide young generations with the skills and opportunities offered by technology.
The program focuses on creating connected multimedia rooms in rural primary schools, providing students with adapted learning spaces and opportunities to discover technologies. The equipped rooms will enable students to acquire digital skills and access a range of educational resources. So far, over 41,000 students have benefited from the program, which is expected to have a positive impact on rural communities.
In addition to equipping multimedia rooms, the program provides structured educational support, developed in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education and Injaz Al-Maghrib. The "Coding for All" program, part of the initiative, introduces teachers to coding, robotics, and artificial intelligence, enabling them to transmit these skills to sixth-grade students. Injaz Al-Maghrib contributes to the program by providing modules on entrepreneurship, promoting the development of initiative, creativity, and student skills.
The program has partnered with several organizations, including Managem, Nareva, and inwi, to support its implementation. inwi has launched a national call for volunteers to contribute to the installation of multimedia equipment, the renovation of learning spaces, and the animation of educational workshops. Volunteers will work alongside local associations and teams to ensure the program's success.
