World Bank funds support digital school upgrades
The World Bank announced a grant of $3.5 million to support the digital transformation of public education in Jordan. The grant includes assessing school readiness, developing digital infrastructure, testing educational devices such as Chromebooks, and establishing an Innovation Center for Education Technology and Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with universities and the private sector. The initiative aims to improve the quality of digital education, develop Arabic-language educational content, and build teachers' capacities. It will focus on urban, semi-urban, and rural schools, with an emphasis on technology and data governance. The funding is part of the Education Modernization Program, which concentrates on skills development and administrative reforms. However, the amount is allocated solely for the preparatory phase, and funding for the implementation phase has not yet been decided.
