 Jordan
has been announced as the pilot nation for the implementation
of an ambitious project for the delivery of effective
e-learning to its citizens.
The Jordan Education Initiative brings together
leaders from the IT and Telecoms industries with
Jordanian authorities to create the project that
will improve education in the Kingdom.
By implementing such a model, the government
of Jordan, together with World Economic Forum
member companies and organizations, will provide
Jordanian youth with a nurturing and supportive
environment that enables each child to pursue
his/her purpose through a conscious process of
self-discovery, experiential learning and self-determination.
Ninety-six so-called “Discovery Schools”
have been selected to pilot the scheme in Jordan.
They will serve as a test bed of how ICT can enable
new systems to be used and benefit schools and
their pupils. Though focused on the advancement
of learning in Jordan, the plan also provides
the opportunity for the sustained development
of the local information technology industry through
infrastructure and e-content development activity.
