The Government has adopted in March 2005 a strategy aimed at the widespread use of ICTs in public education. Its implementation at the primary and secondary education levels should help ensure access to ICTs facilities and services to more than 22% of the Moroccan population, with appropriate content, throughout the Kingdom of Morocco.
The GENIE program is the operational dimension of this ICTs generalization strategy. Launched in early 2006 and revised in 2009, the program, which covers all schools in Morocco, comes in four main areas:
- Infrastructure: Installation of Internet-connected multimedia environments;
- Teacher training: several training modules are provided for inspectors, principals and teachers;
- Digital Resources: acquisition of digital resources and the creation of a digital resources national laboratory and a national ICT portal;
- Usage development: providing good support to users.
The new GENIE program roadmap entails the deployment coverage of schools over five years. From 2009 to 2013, 9260 will be covered.
