The Management Committee of the Universal Telecommunications Service (CGSUT) held its eighth meeting.

Participants focused on the progress made in the implementation of all projects, especially “PACTE”, “Génie”, and “Injaz”.

Regarding PACTE, 7,186 out of 9,263 planned areas will be covered by telecommunications equipment in 2011. The remaining locations will be covered in the first half of 2012.

Regarding the third step of the “Génie” program on the spread of information technology and communication in education, 4,000 schools have been equipped with media rooms that have Internet access.

The “Nafid@” program also achieved good results. It has enabled 150,000 members of the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Promotion of Social Works and Education-Training to receive support from the Universal Service Fund for Internet access.

Under the “Maroc Numeric 2013” plan and given the success of “Injaz”, CGSUT has decided to generalize access to this program during the next three years to students in the second cycle of higher education.

Finally, the Committee approved the “Net-U” program to facilitate the access of certain Moroccan universities to the Internet via Wifi.
