Kezakoo: Story, Founders, Investors & Funding Rounds

Kezakoo is an E-learning platform specializing in educational videos for high school students founded in 2013. 

With their expertise in creating e-learning content (more than 2,500 videos), Kezakoo has positioned itself as a major player in education in Morocco in the digital age, with an audience that today reaches more than 2.5 million young Moroccans during the school year.

Elected Web Startup of the Year 2014 at the Maroc Web Awards, and the most popular social enterprise in Africa (POESAM Orange Prize 2015), Kezakoo has always made innovation and social vectors the main constituents of its DNA.

In the era of digital and new technologies, education is undergoing a paradigm shift in which students, parents, teachers, and institutions are concerned.

The uses and behaviors of young people are constantly changing, and the classic model is less and less suited to the habits and aspirations of the new generation.

Aware of all these issues, the Kezakoo team has set itself the mission of raising the standards of education in Morocco through the use of technology and adapting the learning experience to the style of Gen Z life.

Kezakoo has set itself the goal of supporting 5 million Moroccan students each year over the next three years while partnering with renowned partners to achieve its vision.

To remain accessible to all learners from different social strata and regions, the kezakoo web platform and its mobile application will remain mainly free and at the same time offer additional features at affordable prices.

Kezakoo’s vision is to support 100% of Moroccan students in their academic success thanks to its expertise in the field and the contribution of its various strategic partners.

How it Works

Baccalaureate Application

If you have never obtained the baccalaureate, you must have completed your patent (examination of the 3rd year of college) three years previously. 

For example, if you want to take the free baccalaureate in June 2023, you must have passed your third-year college exam no earlier than June 2020.

If you have not passed the patent exam, you are free to pass it as a free candidate. To pass it, you must have a primary school certificate.

Special case: If you have studied in the 3rd year of college for two months or more, you can pass the free BAC by presenting a school certificate from your school which proves your passage in CE9.

A holder of a baccalaureate in the SVT sector can apply for a free SPC baccalaureate, the same applies to all sectors.

The free candidate must not have failed his exams in previous years without acceptable justification.

BAC Registration

Registration for the free BAC is done via the electronic portal designated for applications within the specified deadlines, with the electronic application card including a recent photo of the candidate(s).

Submission of the paper application file to the regional office to which the candidate’s place of residence belongs.

The Ministry will publish the provisional regulations for independent candidates admitted to take the baccalaureate exams and the final lists of free candidates accepted to take the baccalaureate exams for the session will be published.

Kezakoo offers free BAC candidates a 100% online learning solution that will allow them to master all free BAC subjects from the comfort of their homes.
