‘1.2 million students in Gaza, West Bank benefit from Jordanian e-Learning platform'
AMMAN — Over 1.2 million students in Gaza and the West Bank have benefited from Jordan's free e-learning platform, which was specifically developed to support Palestinian students. The platform has been available since the start of the current academic year.
Alaa Jarrar, CEO of the Jordanian interactive e-Learning solutions and content company, Jo Academy, said that the "Wise School" platform and application were developed in collaboration with the World Islamic Sciences and Education University.
Jarrar told the Jordan News Agency, Petra, that the initiative was launched in response to Royal directives as part of Jordan's ongoing efforts to enhance the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and ensure that students continue their education despite the ongoing challenges, particularly the impact of the Israeli conflict in Gaza.
He said that the platform allows students to download study materials and continue their education offline, without the need for an internet connection. He praised the role of the World Islamic Sciences and Education University in producing content, filming lessons, and recording them in their studios.
The platform covers the Palestinian curriculum from grade one to the twelfth grade (Tawjihi) and offers students a certificate accredited by the Palestinian Ministry of Education and recognised in Jordan. Jarrar noted that over 100 Jordanian teachers contributed to creating and explaining the educational content.
Jarrar said that the "Wise School" application is now among the top five most visited educational platforms globally, offering interactive academic content, worksheets, exercises, and video lessons. 'The platform also includes specialised content in areas such as psychological support, digital marketing, design, programming, and first aid.'
'The application [Wise School] is designed to support Palestinian students in preparing for Tawjihi examination and helps the Palestinian Ministry of Education implement the necessary standards and guidelines for exam administration.

Jordan, Syria Explore Deeper ICT Cooperation in High-Level Talks
Ammon News - Jordan and Syria have agreed to strengthen cooperation in the fields of telecommunications and information technology, following high-level discussions held virtually on Monday between the Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Sami Samirat, and Syria's Minister of Communications and Technology, Abdel Salam Haykal. According to a statement from the ministry, the meeting focused on efforts to activate a regional fiber-optic corridor, explore alternative routes for internet and telecom services, and position Jordan as a strategic transit hub for data traffic with a potential capacity of up to 100 terabytes. The initiative would involve linking Syrian and Jordanian fiber-optic networks to enhance service sustainability and regional connectivity. The two sides expressed shared interest in making Jordan a critical passage for internet traffic transiting through Syrian territory to destinations further south, underscoring the strategic role of infrastructure cooperation in broader regional development. As part of their plan to foster closer collaboration, the ministers agreed to organize a technical forum in Damascus at the earliest opportunity.

HRH Al Hussein's Call to Innovate
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II stood before the nation at the 'Tawasol' forum not as a figurehead, but as a visionary—a leader with a fire in his voice and the future of Jordan in his heart. His words were not ceremonial—they were catalytic. He spoke of a Jordan that does not wait for the world to change but dares to shape it. A Jordan that refuses to be a footnote in someone else's success story. This was a moment of awakening. A call to action. A clear message: we either build the future with our own hands—or be left behind by those who do. When His Royal Highness spoke of Artificial Intelligence, he wasn't referencing a far-off trend or a passing buzzword. He was outlining a revolution—one that must run through the very veins of our society. AI is not just about smarter apps or faster services. It is the new infrastructure of power. Those who master it will lead the world. Those who don't, will follow indefinitely. Imagine a Jordan where AI detects cancer at its earliest stages, saving thousands of lives with faster, more accurate diagnoses. Where a small clinic in Tafileh has access to the same diagnostic power as top-tier hospitals. Imagine AI-powered drones monitoring farms in the Jordan Valley, detecting pests before they spread, maximizing crop yields, and conserving precious water. Or imagine an education system where every student—from Amman to Ajloun—has a personalized AI tutor, unlocking each child's full potential and making world-class learning accessible to all. These aren't distant dreams—they are already reshaping countries that once stood where we stand now. This transformation cannot rest solely on government institutions. It is a national mission that requires the full force of our collective will. But let us be clear: the government must lead with courage. It must invest boldly in homegrown tech startups, provide direct funding for innovation hubs, and reform outdated legislation that stifles ambition. We cannot ask our youth to innovate inside a system that punishes speed and rewards stagnation. Our education system must also be completely reimagined—from the first years of school to the final years of university. Coding, robotics, data science, and creative problem-solving must become foundational, not optional. We must prepare our young people not just to take jobs, but to create industries. And our employment and training strategies must align with global demand—not just domestic needs—so that Jordanian talent can compete and lead anywhere in the world. As His Majesty King Abdullah II once said, even the most advanced hospital is meaningless without skilled human hands. Our true wealth lies not in our land, but in our people. In our engineers who build global apps, our doctors who serve in war zones, our entrepreneurs pitching ideas to international investors. These young Jordanians are not looking for favors—they are demanding a fair chance. They don't want charity—they want trust, belief, and opportunity. We are blessed with political stability. We are rich in talent. We are fueled by a youth full of ambition and resilience. The only missing element is a unified national decision to unlock it all—and that decision is now echoing through the voice of His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness has drawn the map. The path is clear. Now it falls to us—to educators, to entrepreneurs, to policymakers, to every citizen—to build what he envisioned. We must construct a national ecosystem that produces technology, not just imports it. One that exports solutions, not problems. One that graduates leaders, not job seekers. As the Crown Prince said: 'If knowledge is power, then creative ideas are wealth.' These are not just inspiring words—they are a blueprint. A call to create curricula that ignite imagination, to launch national projects that change lives, and to build companies that place Jordan on the global innovation map. If we rise to this challenge, history will remember this as the moment Jordan turned ambition into action, vision into legacy. But if we hesitate, if we retreat into old habits and comfortable excuses, we will be left to answer to future generations for the opportunity we failed to seize. This is our moment. This is our mission. Let's build the Jordan that the future deserves.
