The project has been extended to all regions of the Kingdom in which all aspects of the program have been covered. More than 3,752 public high school students benefited from the initiative, through 279 workshops during the 2019/2020 school year, and more than 6,685 students in 592 workshops for the 2020/2021 year.
The ”Samsung Innovation Campus” program confirms the commitment of both parties to education in the Kingdom, as well as their determination to maintain this partnership in the pursuit of the success of initiatives strengthening the capacities of teachers, and students in use of new information and communication technologies, in order to encourage innovation.
In the continuity of this initiative, Samsung Morocco intends to mobilize more and strengthen the Samsung Innovation Campus project by also certifying the students who have benefited from the program, in addition to the training of other teachers across the Kingdom. To formalize this objective, a 2022 partnership agreement has been signed between the two parties, the statement concludes.
