Ministry
of Education Amman The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
The
Ministry of Education has realized the importance of focusing on the human
capital development factors in line with the future knowledge-based world
economies. The Government of Jordan placed this as the highest among
priorities for the country. This priority was indeed portrayed by His
Majesty’s presence and active participation in the recent Education and
high profile ICT Forums. Our MissionThe
Ministry of Education will continue the reform of its educational system, with
emphasis on the incorporation of ICT, effective long-term usage of ICT in
e-learning and eventually sustainable infrastructure for life–long learning.
Skills of the future: critical & creative thinking, problem solving and
orientation towards research will be integrated in its ICT and training
programs, rendering a richer and wider spectrum of benefits on all levels in the
educational hierarchy. The
ICT training, leading this change, is in parallelism with the development of
curricula, built-up of technological infrastructure, increased connectivity and
development of assessment methodologies and examinations procedures. Currently,
more than 1650 schools are equipped with PCs, networking and basic peripherals,
in more than 1724 labs. It is expected to have about 1100 secondary schools,
selected from different directorates, connected to the Internet by year-end, as
part of an agreement between MOE and JTC. Other public schools will be connected
thereafter at the rate of about 200 schools per month, in efforts to achieve
full connectivity of all public schools by December 2003. Four schools have
video conferencing facilities, and 10 schools have been connected via Schools
Online Programme. Directorate of Training, Rehabilitation and Supervision Information
