Morocco is stepping up its digital learning push with a new deal with Samsung Electronics Maghreb Arabe. Signed on Monday in Rabat, the aim is simple: get more tech into schools and help students and teachers innovate.
The event also celebrated the winners of the national Python coding contest. Drâa-Tafilalet came first, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra second, and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra third.
Education Minister Mohamed Saad Berrada said the project is part of the “Samsung Innovation Campus,” which trains teachers in coding and artificial intelligence. Last year, over 260 teachers were trained and certified, and the new deal will let the programme keep going.
“This is a big step to support digital teaching,” the minister said, adding that it rewards students who do well in coding and helps grow the Samsung Innovation Campus.
Samsung’s regional boss, Hong Seok Lee, said the programme is key to their work in Morocco. Thousands of students already have access to modern tech and digital skills. Samsung will expand AI training in 2026, believing these skills open big opportunities.
Since 2019, the Samsung Innovation Campus has trained over 2,000 teachers in Python, with 780 trained by Samsung and 1,273 through local centres. The aim is to give Moroccan youth the tech skills they need to compete worldwide.
