A Scientific Project Enriching Public Discourse on Educational Digitalization
This was followed by an intervention from Dr. Al-Meskiny Ihsan, the General Supervisor of this scientific project, who welcomed the attendees and expressed “his pride in this academic achievement, which is the fruit of a collective effort bringing together an elite group of Moroccan researchers.” Al-Meskiny explained that “the choice of digital education as a topic stems from the need for critical reflection on the reality of educational digitalization in Morocco, and from the desire to contribute to enriching public discourse on education in the post-pandemic context.” He also stressed that the studies included in the book “are based on precise scientific foundations and offer practical, implementable proposals.”
Conditions for Successful Digital Transition and Practical Solutions
In the same context, Dr. Mohammed Fouad Ammor took the floor as the author of the book’s introduction.

Dr. Noureddine Trisi also participated with a speech in which he expressed “the importance of this collective work in enhancing the national educational wealth,” considering that its timing of release is “very appropriate given the official directions towards educational digitalization.” Trisi affirmed that this book “is expected to serve as a reference for researchers and decision-makers, and a catalyst for collective thinking on how to make digitalization a tool for achieving quality and equal opportunities within the educational system.”
