Al-Atoum: External interference in curricula observed
Deputy Huda Al-Atoum points to the existence of genuine foreign interference in Jordan's education curricula, alongside criticisms of the decline in achieving the objectives outlined in international reports that address these curricula. Since 2014, her team has been reviewing the educational content and comparing it against international recommendations. The findings showed that the modifications made until 2019 were insufficient, leading to complete overhauls of three subject areas. The study revealed that the content in the textbooks began to gradually change, especially in topics related to anti-Semitism and peace with the Jews. These changes appeared gradually through the reduction or concealment of negative elements, with Islamic historical examples highlighting positive relations with Jews. The study covers all grades from first to twelfth and focuses on subjects such as Islamic Education, Arabic Language, and Social Studies, aiming to assess the curricula’s responsiveness to international reports. It emphasizes that the development process is ongoing and subject to continuous review.
