AU Executive Council: Education, Key Pillar in HM the King’s Vision for Development – Moroccan Delegation –

Education is a key pillar in the far-sighted vision of HM King Mohammed VI for development, the Moroccan delegation said on Wednesday before the 44th ordinary session of the Executive Council of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa.    “Education is a key pillar in the far-sighted vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI for development. For this very reason, the Kingdom has devised ambitious national strategies for the development of education and learning and has, moreover, based its South-South cooperation model mainly on vocational training and academic programs in favor of young Africans, given that strengthening their capacities remains a prerequisite for the success of all our continental development strategies,” the delegation underlined.    In view of the alarming statistics concerning the state of education in Africa, the delegation “raises question concerning the future awaiting our future generations, at a time when other regions of the world have reached very advanced stages in the field of education and learning, particularly through a combination of human and artificial intelligence”.    The AU Executive Council kicked off, in the morning, its 44th ordinary session in the run-up to the Union’s Summit (February 17-18).
