Morocco has taken a significant step toward strengthening higher education in its southern provinces with the signing of a partnership agreement to build and equip the National School of Advanced Technologies in Dakhla. The initiative aligns with the Royal vision to promote regional development and enhance the role of southern provinces in higher education and scientific research.
The agreement was formalized by key officials, including Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Azeddine El Midaoui, Wali of Dakhla-Oued Eddahab Ali Khalil, President of the Regional Council El Khattat Yanja, President of Ibn Zohr University Nabil Hmina, and Khalid Zouahri, Director General of the local development company Dakhla Amenagement et Developpement. The local company will oversee technical studies, construction, and overall project implementation.
This project forms part of Morocco's broader strategy to strengthen spatial equity and expand university offerings in the southern regions. The school will focus on cutting-edge fields such as advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital systems, preparing graduates to meet the evolving needs of the job market and enhance the region's economic competitiveness.
