Providing quality education for all, it is with this objective that in 2016 the OCP Foundation signed a partnership with the Ministry of National Education, in order to launch the “Sponsored Schools” program. The objective is to enable each student to develop and reveal their talent, creativity and ingenuity by providing them with a school environment that facilitates their development and celebrates their creativity. Thus the educational programs take into consideration the needs, aspirations and talents of each student thanks to the involvement of the different stakeholders in the success of the model.

Started with 31 public schools, the program was subsequently strengthened to integrate 29 new schools since 2021, for a total of 60 sponsored schools. To date, nearly 30,000 students are supported in 5 provinces (Benguérir, El jadida, Khouribga, Safi and Youssoufia). The Sponsored Schools program supports the evolution of training practices accelerated by the Covid 19 pandemic and has since integrated the digitalization and digitization of learning methods.

The joint project to support Moroccan public preparatory classes is a flagship example in which the OCP Foundation is committed to the MEN in order to equip 27 preparatory centers for major public schools (CPGE) in the 12 regions of the kingdom with scientific equipment. and didactic.

Aware that the future of Morocco is based on its youth, which is its living force, and convinced that quality education and training must be accessible to all, the objective of this project is to promote progression and success of the 9,000 students who continue their studies there, by offering them, as well as the teaching staff, a more stimulating and motivating environment and working environment.

This action is part of the Foundation's desire to promote qualitative, modern teaching that is demanding and open to the world, allowing the establishment of a Moroccan educational ecosystem based on excellence, research and innovation. Over a long-term vision, the partnership will strengthen the CPGEs as a fundamental element of the public system of education and training of excellence in Morocco.
