“We are working together with UM6P to design a specific educational model”

Allow me to clarify that this agreement will allow us to better cooperate in terms of training. It is a contribution to the excellence of education in Morocco. We have advanced cooperation with the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University which has led to a first educational establishment in Ben Guérir. This cooperation also concerns the training of the teachers we need. Our objective is to train a new generation of teachers in line with new advances in education both in the field of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence.

As you know, Morocco and France signed, during the visit of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, a declaration on an exceptional renewed partnership. The idea is to prepare for the next 25 years. Preparing for the future obviously begins with education and youth. For our part, we are doing our part. Hence the partnership between OSUI and UM6P. We have thus joined our efforts to be able to develop teaching both in Morocco and in Africa.

There is within our network a set of trainers who will be able to provide their expertise as we have been able to structure it in order to build training programs. Today, we have nearly twelve experts who have accumulated extensive experience in Morocco. I would like to remind you that OSUI belongs to the Mlf world network made up of 108 establishments and 68,000 students. So we also bring international expertise based around multilingualism, science and the use of digital technology in learning techniques.

All of this will be put to the service of our cooperation with the UM6P. As we created a school together, it is about making it a model of education with Moroccan teachers trained to modern standards. This is the basis of our partnership which we can gradually expand thereafter.

By joining forces with UM6P, we are combining two excellences. I remind you that we are here to work together, that is to say that our partnership consists of both parties contributing to designing the educational model.

In fact, OSUI has been present in Morocco since 1996. Initially, we had the idea of ​​developing our network of schools. We will start by creating a branch of our Marrakech school in Ben Healer. Then, we agreed to build together a multilingual educational project with Arabic, English and French as fundamental pillars. Our teaching model attaches great importance to digital technology, sustainable development and student well-being. All these pillars are integrated.

From there, we said to ourselves that we had to go even further. Hence the idea of ​​a teacher training program. I’ll give you a concrete example. We have implemented a teacher skills certification program. It is important to strengthen diploma certification. These are contributions that can be made quickly.

As you know, we are looking for teachers to train and, above all, adapt to rapid developments in teaching techniques. We need to work together to see together what type of training and diplomas we would like to put in place. We can imagine many points of convergence. The objective is also to draw inspiration from the work of UM6P researchers in this area.

We live today in a cultural globalization which means that we cannot be content with mastering a single language. It’s even a handicap. This is why we attach enormous importance to multilingualism since, from our point of view, it is necessary to teach at least three languages.

Like English, French always brings modernity at all levels, including digital. With UM6P, we will design innovative programs in both languages. At the same time, we are ensuring that we strengthen the learning of the Arabic language, which will have a more important role in the programs that we will put in place.
