On this occasion, Mr. Miraoui, accompanied by the Malian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Bouréma Kansaly, and the Director General of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO), Salem Bin Mohamed Malik, visited the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences, as well as that of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences, where he learned about the arrangements put in place for the registration of students, particularly new ones.
The minister also visited the Semlalia Faculty of Sciences, where he attended the presentation of the “MyMoroccanUniv” mobile application relating to the smart Moroccan university and which offers various services such as access to support courses, language training, university orientation services and the management of requests for certificates, grades and timetables.
In a statement to MAP, Mr. Miraoui welcomed the efforts made by the deans, directors, teacher-researchers, administrative and technical staff, and all the stakeholders involved in ensuring a better start to the academic year.
He added that, for the first time, digitalization has been adopted in the academic year, stressing that the “MyMoroccanUniv” application, available on Android and soon on IOS, will facilitate communication between students, administrative and technical staff, and teacher-researchers with their universities.
This new application is based on artificial intelligence (AI), a first for higher education in Morocco and Africa, noted Mr. Miraoui, noting that such initiatives aim to strengthen the capacities of young people and promote their empowerment in the face of growing challenges related to digital transformation, particularly AI.
For his part, the director of digitalization at UCA, Ezzahi Jerir, stressed in a similar statement that the importance of this application, generalized to all universities in the Kingdom, lies in its ability to allow students to connect to various platforms such as “Minhaty”, the Compulsory Health Insurance (AMO) and other platforms offering courses and everything related to requests for school certificates, grades and timetables.
He also noted that this application also allows students to access other digital services, including the national platform “Code 212”, which offers training to strengthen students’ capacities, as well as training cycles in the fields of digital and robotics.
This platform is based on innovative pedagogical approaches, such as learning by doing, peer learning, proactive learning and blended learning, as well as on creativity, cooperation and critical thinking, he concluded.
