Signed by Ilham Laaziz, Director of Educational and Digital Resources at the ministry, and Hong Seok Lee, President of Samsung Electronics Maghreb Arab, the amendment aligns with the 2022–2026 education roadmap aimed at strengthening the integration of digital technologies into the education system and encouraging innovation.

Twelve teams representing regions across Morocco took part, with Drâa-Tafilalet winning first prize, followed by Rabat-Salé-Kénitra in second place and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra in third.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports Mohamed Saad Berrada said the initiative falls within the «Samsung Innovation Campus» project, which focuses on enhancing teachers’ skills in programming and artificial intelligence (AI). He noted that more than 261 teachers were trained and certified in these fields in 2025 alone.
The minister, in a speech read on his behalf, stressed that the partnership is a pioneering initiative in supporting digital teaching and learning. He reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to nurturing students with strong programming skills and to continuing the Samsung Innovation Campus through the newly signed amendment, which will expand certified AI training for teachers.
