"The AMEL project, which means ""hope"" in Morocco, has as its main objective to strengthen the role of the HEIs in the development of the economy by contributing to the establishment of a national framework governing lifelong learning (LLL) to improve its practice and accessibility. There is a political will in Morocco to develop the LLL which has not yet been implemented (Action Plan 17-22). Public universities offer continuous training without regulatory framework and the validation of prior experience is not practiced despite the pressing and growing demand of the Moroccan working environment. The main achievements planned by AMEL are: - the implementation of a national charter of the LLL for Moroccan universities, - the implementation of common procedures for Validation of prior experience,- the creation of a network of experts in the LLL familiar with the procedures established at national level for continuing education and Validation of the acquisition of experience.The project consortium was built around three European HEIs, each with its own expertise in the field: Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers- France, which will be the project leader, Royal Institute of Technology- Sweden and National School of Public Works-France. To ensure the success of the project and the national and regional appropriation of the various project achievements, all the stakeholders in Morocco are associated: nine universities (8 public and 1 private), Ministry of Education, companies represented by the CGEM, Association of Women Business Leaders of Morocco and National agency for evaluation and quality assurance. The AMEL project will offer to those who entered early into working life, a chance to access qualifying training, diplomas and degrees in higher education. By responding more effectively to the needs and expectations of individuals, businesses and society in general, the project will promote the rapprochement between academic and professional qualifications."
