Abstract: The emergency program of the ministry of education states, that school education is compulsory up to the age of 15, ensuring this entitlement is the obligation of all stakeholders. Likewise, in a world characterized by the multiplication of mutations and crises, improving education and providing quality teaching is becoming more and more of a difficult task, which makes the transition to hybrid education that mixes face-to-face and distance learning crucial. The evolution of technology, especially the Internet, has affected many fields, among them education. In this sense, faced with these changes, the development of the education system and the integration of distance learning to improve school education has given rise to a number of research works. Thus, this article’s goal is to examine the importance of distance learning for the improvement of school education in Morocco. Thus, this study founded on a precise process, expressed through a questionnaire given to school directors and statistical analysis performed with specialized software. The outcomes have shown the importance that distance learning can play in ensuring an improvement in school education, as indicated by several factors, particularly in terms of the development of pedagogical practice, the continuity of education in crisis situations, the improvement of student learning and the introduction of new innovative practices. Nonetheless, distance learning still presents a number of challenges, requiring the multiplication of efforts and promoting a range of measures to guarantee a genuine shift towards digital distance learning, which ensures continuous improvement in teaching and learning, and thus in the well-being of the student.
