Towards an integrated framework for digital transformation in Moroccan higher education

Research published in Frontiers in Education examines the digital transformation challenges within Moroccan public universities, identifying acute structural, organizational, and technological constraints. Utilizing a Design Science Research methodology, the study addresses the gap in existing frameworks that fail to account for the unique operating realities of higher education institutions in developing contexts.

This analysis highlights that generic digital transformation models cannot be transposed onto developing-world higher education systems without fundamental structural adjustments. Institutional progress depends on tailored frameworks that explicitly account for local technological and organizational deficits. Without contextualized models, investments in public university modernization risk systemic failure.

Public universities in developing economies encounter acute implementation barriers rooted in institutional structure and strategy.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
