Context

Launched in February 2024 as a public-private partnership between Morocco's Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports and Huawei Morocco under the global TECH4ALL digital-inclusion initiative, DigiSchool set out to equip secondary-school teachers and students with practical skills in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, web/app development and robotics.

Activities

Phase 1 (Feb–Apr 2024) trained secondary-school teachers in ICT and AI skills across all 12 regional academies of Morocco, with deliberate reach into rural areas. Phase 2 had trained teachers deliver follow-up sessions to students through a cascade 'ambassador' model. Phase 3 (May–Nov 2024) ran twelve regional hackathons where students designed and pitched ICT/AI solutions to local education challenges. Phase 4 (Dec 2024) ran technology bootcamps in Fez, Marrakech and Agadir, concluding with a ministerial evaluation.

Results

By the end of 2024, the programme had trained 265 teachers, reached 2,650 students through 71 follow-up sessions, and engaged 714 students in regional hackathons, plus 180 students and 60 teachers in bootcamps. For 2025 the programme targets 48 DigiSchool clubs, 1,800 trained teachers and 36,000 students nationwide — a 6.8-fold scale-up. No standardised assessment of learning outcomes has been published; evidence rests on implementation-reach and participation metrics.

Implementation
Indicative cost
Medium (€50k–€500k) — No public budget figure found; cost_band set to medium reflecting a national multi-phase training and hackathon programme run jointly by government and a corporate partner.
Time to results
Medium (1–3 years) — Multi-phase rollout from February 2024 through 2025 targets; timeline_band set to medium for the phased national scale-up.
Staffing & skills
265 secondary-school teachers trained as programme 'ambassadors', Ministry of Education regional-academy staff, Huawei Morocco technical trainers

Conditions for success

  • Cascade 'ambassador' model where trained teachers deliver follow-up sessions
  • Coverage of all 12 regional academies including rural areas
  • Joint Ministry–Huawei institutional backing under TECH4ALL

Common failure modes

  • No standardised pre/post assessment of learning outcomes published to date
