Huawei has successfully concluded the DigiSchool 2024 project, a major initiative designed to provide equitable access to digital education for students across Morocco. Launched in February 2024, the project is aligned with Morocco’s 2022-2026 education reform roadmap and highlights the power of public-private partnerships.
David Li, Managing Director of Huawei Morocco, emphasized the importance of strengthening digital skills, stating, “The DigiSchool project emphasizes the importance of strengthening digital skills and consolidating the public-private partnership as a real lever for boosting a resilient digital ecosystem.”
As part of Huawei’s TECH4ALL digital inclusion initiative, the project aimed to equip both students and teachers with skills in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, app development, robotics, and coding.
The four-phase initiative included:
- Teacher Training: 265 secondary school teachers from all 12 Moroccan regions received ICT training.
- Classroom Implementation: Teachers applied their training to benefit 2,650 students.
- Hackathons: Between May and November 2024, 714 students participated in regional hackathons to create ICT solutions for real-world challenges.
- Bootcamps: In December 2024, 180 students and 60 teachers attended bootcamps in Fez, Marrakech, and Agadir to refine their skills and pitch their hackathon solutions.
The project concluded with participants showcasing their skills to a high-level delegation, including Morocco’s Minister of National Education, Mohamed Saad Berrada, and Huawei Morocco’s Vice President, Chen Xiaolei.
Huawei’s continued investment in training and innovation, part of its TECH4ALL initiative, underlines its commitment to supporting Morocco’s aspirations for quality and inclusive digital education.
