In Fez and its rural communes, no less than 40 units have emerged to promote preschool education, the positive effect of which on individual development is no longer in doubt, particularly on cognitive, social and emotional faculties. of the child as well as on his educational journey from primary to higher education.
Kaoutar Lahrari, executive at the Social Action Division (DAS) of the prefecture of Fez, indicated that as part of the INDH’s “Instigation of human capital for rising generations” program, forty units dedicated to teaching preschool out of the 41 planned at the level of the prefecture of Fez were carried out.
These units, which have more than 60 preschool classes, were carried out for a total investment amounting to more than 19 million dirhams (MDH), she said, adding that this amount covers the construction, equipment and the management of these units, entrusted to the Moroccan Foundation for the promotion of Preschool Education.
And to let it be known that more than 1,600 students, girls and boys, benefit from preschool education in the prefecture of Fez and three rural communes.
Some 40% of these beneficiaries are girls, according to the same official, who reports the opening next week of five new units made up of ten classrooms to generalize this crucial teaching for children.
Among the establishments already operational is the Douar Ait Yaacoub unit, in the commune of Ain Bida, near Fez, which welcomes children aged between 4 and 6 years old from the commune.
According to the Unit’s educational manager, Badra Chadli, the work within this structure focuses on two projects, class and school, with the aim of developing the capacities and cognitive faculties of students by opening up to parallel activities likely to provide the child with multiple skills (cooking, gardening, etc.).
The area of support for preschool education aims to offer quality education to children from douars to facilitate their integration into the education system.
The creation of these units comes in submission of a partnership agreement concluded between the Provincial Committee for Human Development (CPDH) and the Moroccan Foundation for the Promotion of Preschool Education (FMPS) relating to the creation of 41 units for the benefit of 410 children under 6 years old.
The return on investment in human capital is very critically important at the preschool level, compared to other education cycles (17 times more).
Based on this observation, the INDH has made support for preschool a priority in its third phase, giving a real boost to this education in recent years, particularly in rural areas across the Kingdom.
The 4th program “Instigation of human capital for rising generations” aims to promote the human capital of individuals, throughout their life cycle, based on a proactive and proactive approach in order to counteract the main barriers to human development, by acting on two components.
The INDH works with various stakeholders to improve the quality of the education system, and thus reduce school dropouts. It concentrates its efforts around targeted and thoughtful actions dedicated to students in challenging situations, from rural areas and disadvantaged urban neighborhoods, relying on experienced partners from civil society.
How can individuals influence teh growth and direction of emerging technologies?
interviewer: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have a special guest who needs no introduction, but we’ll let him introduce himself anyway. Can you share your name and a little bit about what you do?
guest: Thank you for having me! I’m Alex Harper, a futurist and technology consultant.My work primarily focuses on how emerging technologies influence various sectors, from healthcare to finance, and how we can use that knowledge to predict trends that may shape our future.
Interviewer: Engaging! So, let’s dive right in. One of the buzzwords we hear a lot in your field is “disruption.” Could you elaborate on what disruption means in the context of technology?
Guest: Absolutely! In technology, disruption refers to innovations that significantly alter the way industries operate. For example, think of how streaming services disrupted traditional television and movie distribution. It often introduces new paradigms—sometiems making older technologies obsolete.but it’s not just a threat; it can also create new opportunities for businesses and consumers alike.
Interviewer: that’s a great point. Speaking of new opportunities, what technologies do you think will be the most impactful in the next five years?
Guest: Without a doubt, artificial intelligence will continue to lead the charge. We’re already seeing AI revolutionize everything from customer service via chatbots to data analysis in healthcare. However, we can’t overlook the potential of quantum computing either. Its ability to process vast amounts of information could change the way we solve complex problems, like climate modeling or complex logistics, in ways we can’t even imagine yet.
interviewer: Fascinating! With all these advancements,what ethical considerations should we be mindful of as we embrace these technologies?
Guest: Ethics in technology is crucial. we need to address issues like data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the impact of automation on employment. Building frameworks that ensure transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in technological development is essential. Otherwise, we run the risk of creating systems that amplify existing inequalities.
Interviewer: You mentioned automation, which is a hot topic. Do you think it will lead to widespread job loss,or could it perhaps create new job opportunities?
Guest: it’s a double-edged sword. While automation may displace certain jobs, it also has the potential to create new roles that we can’t yet envision. historically, technological advancements have led to job change rather then outright elimination. The key will be re-skilling and up-skilling our workforce to prepare them for this new landscape.
Interviewer: That’s a very balanced outlook! Now, shifting gears a bit, what role do you think individuals and consumers can play in shaping the future of technology?
guest: Individuals hold immense power— especially through their choices and voice. Consumer demand can influence corporate practices and accountability in technology. Moreover, people can advocate for policies that support ethical tech development and use. Being informed and engaged is essential; every voice matters.
Interviewer: Before we wrap up, could you share any advice for aspiring professionals looking to enter fields related to technology and futurism?
Guest: Don’t hesitate to explore! The tech landscape is vast and constantly evolving. Seek interdisciplinary knowledge—understanding how tech intersects with ethics, sociology, and economics can set you apart. Networking, staying curious, and never shying away from asking questions will open doors for you.
Interviewer: Splendid advice! Thank you so much for joining us today, Alex. It’s been a pleasure discussing the future of technology with you.
Guest: Thank you! It’s been a delight to chat with you and share insights. Looking forward to seeing how these conversations evolve!
Interviewer: And to our audience, stay tuned for more engaging discussions on Time.news. Explore, question, and innovate—because the future is now!
