Sharjah 24 – WAM: The Digital School, an initiative of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), has successfully completed a major phase of its educational project in Jordan. Executed in collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Education and supported by the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), the program has reached over 11,000 students to accelerate digital transformation and equip schools with future-ready skills.

Digital Teacher Programme empowers educators across public schools

Under this latest phase, the Digital Teacher Programme—delivered by the Global Digital Teacher Academy in partnership with Arizona State University—empowered more than 800 teachers, educators, and administrators across 15 public schools. The initiative established integrated digital learning ecosystems and provided foundational AI training to 300 students.

Schools receive upgraded digital learning infrastructure

To support these academic models, participating schools received critical infrastructure upgrades, including laptops, tablets, smart screens, and projectors, enabling seamless access to interactive educational content for students from Grades 1 through 12.

Joint delegation reviews project impact on the ground

A joint delegation from the Digital School and the Emirates Red Crescent, accompanied by Dr. Nawaf Al Ajarmeh, Secretary General for Educational Affairs at Jordan’s Ministry of Education, conducted a field visit to assess the project’s real-world impact. A ceremony was also held at the Queen Rania Centre for Education and Information Technology (QRCEIT) to honor outstanding schools, educators, and implementation teams, alongside feedback sessions with school leaders.

Strategic roadmap planned for expansion across Jordan

To ensure long-term sustainability, the Digital School held strategic meetings with the Jordanian Ministry of Education to develop an expansion roadmap for additional schools across the Kingdom and establish a joint working group to define future priorities.
