Menhaj Educational
Technologies won the second King Abdullah creativity prize yesterday
for its “Jordanian Experience in e-Learning Curricula” Project.
The project was first introduced in
2002 as part of the 11th grade physics curriculum and is the result
of a public-private partnership between the Ministry of education, the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Menhaj.
The project resulted in an 18 per cent improvement in academic performance
after being implemented in 8 pilot schools around the kingdom.
The e-learning experience in Jordan was initiated in response to His Majesty
King Abdullah’s vision on integrating information technology into the
educational system to further the Kingdom’s modernization process.
The second King Abdullah Creativity Prize, organized by the Greater Amman
Municipality, awarded prizes in three categories: Art and Literature, Science,
and archaeological projects in Arab cities.
The prizewinners were announced by Abdur-Ra’uf S.Rawabdeh, head of the prizes
board of trustees, at a press conference on Monday.
