Parliamentarian Omar Anan of the Socialist Union Party from the Oujda-Angad constituency sent a written question to the Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation regarding the application of the educational tool “Rosetta Stone” in open enrollment higher education institutions.
According to the question, as part of efforts to improve language learning in higher education institutions, the “ROSETTA STONE” tool has been adopted in some academic institutions, especially those with open enrollment, and although this technology aims to improve language skills through the methodology of total immersion However, its application has sparked a wave of criticism and complaints, due to a set of problems related to planning and implementation, which hindered the progress of operations academics.
Among the most significant challenges facing these institutions are:
-1- The absence of appropriate infrastructure and the lack of training for administrative and technical managers to use the tool;
2 – The impact of employment intensity pressure resulting from the large number of students in these establishments;
3 – Technical and organizational problems related to the operating mechanism of the platform, such as the annual renewal of accounts and the calculation of learning hours at a rate not stipulated in the calculation books;
4 – Weak human resources and technical equipment to support this educational transformation.
So I ask you: what measures has the ministry taken to overcome the problems associated with the application of the “Rosetta Stone” tool in open recruitment institutions? Are there plans to carry out an overall evaluation of this experience and to ensure that the new educational tools are compatible with the specificities of these establishments and the needs of the students?
