Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming classrooms around the world.
While countries like Norway are moving to limit children’s screen time and several U.S. states are
introducing restrictions on AI and digital tools in schools, Morocco may choose a different path.

Education expert Abdelmounaïm Faouzi believes Morocco should build its own AI strategy,
rather than simply adopting models developed abroad.
According to him, every country faces different educational challenges, and Morocco’s priorities include
reducing school dropout rates, tackling regional inequalities and improving support for struggling students.

Instead of starting with strict regulations, Faouzi argues that the focus should be on developing
practical AI solutions that genuinely improve learning.
« The priority is to build the right tools. The legal framework can come afterward, » he explains.

He also welcomed recent recommendations from Morocco’s Higher Council for Education, which called for
a national framework to guide the integration of artificial intelligence into schools.

For Faouzi, however, success will depend on close collaboration between public institutions and private
education technology companies to create AI tools adapted to Morocco’s classrooms.

One thing is clear.
Morocco isn’t looking to copy the world’s AI education models—it wants to build one of its own.
