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.

Mobilisée envers les jeunes générations et déterminée plus que jamais à les accompagner, particulièrement dans un contexte marqué par la crise sanitaire Covid-19, la Fondation s'est joint aux efforts déployés par le Groupe OCP et par le Royaume afin d’assurer la continuité pédagogique et d’apporter l’assistance nécessaire à l’écosystème d'Education, et ce en appuyant la création d'un centre national de digitalisation et d'enseignement à distance (CNDE) au sein de l'UM6P et en équipant 14 studios de production de contenus pédagogiques numériques dans toutes les universités publiques marocaines.

To encourage academic success and promote equal opportunities, the OCP Foundation has, for several years, been financing excellence scholarships enabling deserving Moroccan students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their higher education in national or international establishments. renowned, such as Lydex, UM6P, or the French and Moroccan Grandes Écoles. Since September 2020, this support has crystallized through support for FIRSI (IBN ROCHD Foundation for Sciences and Innovation).

Indeed, by supporting the actions of its partners and contributing to their skills development, the Foundation contributes to the inclusion of people with specific needs or disabilities, and thus breaks the cycle of discrimination they face.

The quality of initial training is the central stone of a successful and rewarding career in teaching, which is why it was essential for the OCP Foundation to support its historic institutional partner (MEN) to create a motivating working environment. within the national CRMEFs (Regional Centers for Education and Training Professions) through the upgrading of living and study spaces which promote educational progression and learning among future teachers in the best possible conditions . In the same context, the OCP Foundation also financed the acquisition of laboratory equipment (mechanical engineering & electrical engineering).

Convinced of the importance of accessibility to quality education for all, the OCP Foundation continues to work and develop training and support programs for people with specific needs in order to strengthen their skills, promote their autonomy, their social integration and their professional integration, but also help them deal with the discrimination they often face.
