The Context
Morocco has made significant progress in expanding access to education over the past decade, supported by a strong national reform agenda to modernize the system and align it with socio-economic development goals. The current education reform roadmap (2022–2026) focuses on improving learning outcomes, strengthening governance, enhancing teacher training, and promoting equity between urban and rural areas.
Early childhood education continues to expand, reflecting growing institutional commitment to foundational learning. At the same time, Morocco is intensifying efforts to address challenges such as learning poverty, rural disparities, and early school dropout, particularly among vulnerable communities. Digital transformation has become a strategic priority, with greater focus on integrating technology into classrooms and strengthening students’ digital competencies.
Despite measurable improvements in enrollment and infrastructure, structural challenges remain. Learning quality, the acquisition of basic literacy and numeracy skills, and the alignment of education with labor market needs continue to require sustained attention. The country is therefore investing in systemic reforms designed to ensure that young people develop the technical, digital, and transversal skills necessary to access higher education, entrepreneurship opportunities, and meaningful employment in an increasingly digital economy.
ST Foundation’s Presence
The ST Foundation launched the DU Program in Morocco in 2004 with the objective of contributing to the country’s development through digital education. From the outset, the program has relied on strong institutional partnerships, notably with the Ministry of Youth, enabling a structured and continuous expansion nationwide.
By 2015, the program had already reached a major milestone of 100,000 beneficiaries trained. This achievement was marked by a dedicated ceremony at the ST site in Bouskoura, further detailed in the dedicated section of our website.
Over the years, our initiatives have continued to evolve, strengthening our network of labs, expanding to new cities, and diversifying our educational offer. Summer Camps have become a key component, providing structured digital learning opportunities to young people, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Alongside our core ICB courses, the program has progressively integrated STEM activities, including coding and robotics, fostering hands-on learning and creativity.
Today, the program operates through a network of 45 active labs across 17 cities, ensuring broad national coverage. In 2025 alone, 25,765 beneficiaries were trained, confirming the program’s capacity to deliver digital skills at scale and its continued growth.
Since its launch, more than 270,000 beneficiaries have been reached, reflecting over two decades of sustained engagement and long-term impact.
Through strong partnerships, committed trainers, and continuous adaptation to local needs, the ST Foundation continues to support Morocco in reducing the digital divide and equipping young generations with essential digital skills.
