In 2023, Ibn Tofaïl University initiated Accredited Training Programs as part of the 10,000 Social Work Specialists Training Program, under the Framework Agreement aimed at addressing national priority projects. The impact of these programs extends beyond mere training. By equipping students in critical fields like Inclusive Education, Social Assistance, and Labor Law, the university is building a future workforce capable of tackling social challenges.
This initiative not only addresses the urgent need for skilled social workers but also contributes to the national strategy of improving social services, particularly for vulnerable populations such as women, children, and individuals with disabilities. Furthermore, it helps foster inclusivity, strengthens social protection systems, and aligns with Morocco’s broader goals of sustainable development.
By focusing on gender equality, the elimination of violence against women, and social integration, this action demonstrates Ibn Tofaïl University’s pivotal role in advancing national reforms. The long-term impact of this program includes improving social welfare, reducing inequalities, and supporting Morocco’s socio-economic progress. It will help create a qualified human resource base that can meet the needs of various sectors, thereby enhancing collaborations between academia and government to address Morocco’s key social issues.
In accordance with the High Directions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God Assist Him, to continue building a Morocco of progress and dignity with the participation of all, and as part of the implementation of the commitments of the Marrakech Declaration 2020 for the elimination of violence against women and girls, launched under the effective presidency of Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Meryem on March 8, 2020, Ibn Tofaïl University has launched several programs under the agreement signed by the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, and the Ministry of Solidarity, Social Development and the Family, aiming to train 10,000 specialists in social action.
