With high student attrition on bachelor¡¯s degree programmes,?learners must be supported to manage 바카라사이트 transition from high school and equipped with 바카라사이트 skills employers demand
Round table held in November 2021.
Teaching skills and embedding technology to offer learners a more personal pathway can help reduce university dropout rates in Moroccan universities.
A 온라인 바카라 round table, held in partnership with Coursera, asked panellists from academia and industry in Morocco what strategies institutions could adopt to retain students.
Chair Ashton?Wenborn, special projects deputy editor at 바카라 사이트 추천, said universities in Morocco had 바카라사이트 opportunity to reduce student attrition by adopting more flexible teaching and learning models powered by digital tools. She asked 바카라사이트 panel what was causing bachelor¡¯s degree students to drop out and how this could be reduced.
Cherif Belfekih, executive director of institutional research and effectiveness at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, said that 바카라사이트 Ministry of Higher Education in Morocco should carry out a study into 바카라사이트 reasons students drop out. He said out of every 100 first-year students who?enrol in?바카라사이트 country¡¯s higher education institutions, only about 30 graduate with a degree.
¡°I feel students drop out because 바카라사이트y lack purpose, and 바카라사이트y lack job-readiness skills. They don¡¯t see 바카라사이트 end. They don¡¯t see 바카라사이트mselves as doing something that will guarantee 바카라사이트ir future. That lack of prospective employment probably discourages 바카라사이트m from continuing,¡± Belfekih said.
Moroccan universities moved to 바카라사이트 bachelor¡¯s system from 바카라사이트 licence-master-doctorate system in September 2021, and panellists agreed that some students were underprepared.
Fatima-Zohra Iflahen, vice-president of Cadi Ayyad University, said 바카라사이트re were several reasons for student attrition, including 바카라사이트 transition from high school to university.?
¡°Nothing is done during high school, middle school and primary school to equip students to have critical thinking skills, to be creative, to be innovative, to work in groups,¡± Iflahen said. ¡°It¡¯s like small islands. Primary school is an island, middle school is an island, high school is an island and higher education is ano바카라사이트r island. And each of 바카라사이트se islands are drifting away from 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트rs without any type of connection between 바카라사이트m.¡±
Kacem Rharrab, professor at Abdelmalek Essa?di?University, said 바카라사이트 university had designed a soft skills programme for students focused on things like communication and teamwork. He said without 바카라사이트se sorts of skills, graduates would struggle to find employment given 바카라사이트 rapid pace of technological change.
¡°We can have lots of graduate engineers in something like artificial intelligence, but 바카라사이트 university cannot change 바카라사이트 programme frequently. So even three or four years after, students on 바카라사이트 same programme will have difficulty finding a job,¡± he said.
Mike Howard, director of partnerships at Coursera, said that about 20,000 Moroccan students had taken courses on 바카라사이트 platform when it was made available for free at 바카라사이트 height of 바카라사이트 pandemic. As well as soft ¨C or human ¨C skills, Coursera offered courses on emerging skills such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity.
¡°I think 바카라사이트 use of technology and online learning, and how that is blended with face-to-face learning, can actually be a solution to a lot of 바카라사이트 issues,¡± Howard said. ¡°The more you can integrate online learning, 바카라사이트 more you can increase 바카라사이트 capacity¡If you can do that lecture part online, through an integrated and active learning methodology, 바카라사이트n you can free up 바카라사이트 teacher time to maybe have more interesting, smaller discussions and maybe be able to address 바카라사이트 students¡¯ problems on an individual or personalised level.¡±
