Full textAbstract:
Jordan’s educational system is now based around the concepts of freedom, justice, and human and economic development in order to achieve a high level of productivity and progress. Jordan is one of the developing countries that are consistently attempting to align development with current global educational standards, as one of the Kingdom’s top priorities. The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) (2003), Education Reform for Knowledge Economy (ERfKE) (2003), Connecting Jordanians’ Initiative (2005), and English Interactive Online Initiative (EIOI) (2006), among others, have been initiated by the ministry. The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) was established in the same year as the ERfKE project (2003). Jordan recently revised the learning results for all of its national school subject areas, outlining what content students should know and what skills they should learn at—grade level.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess the maturity level of the Jordanian electronic Government (e-Government) program from the citizen’s perspective. This assessment aims to help in determining whether the Jordanian e-Government strategy, set back in 2002, has achieved its main objectives which are delivering services to people across society, irrespective of location, economic status, education or ICT ability; improving the ICT readiness and infrastructure; and developing new service delivery channels and increase the involvement of citizens through the use of ICTs. Jordan started a national e-Government initiative aiming to streamline government procedures and provide government information and services to the public online. This paper reveals the levels of citizens’ awareness, acceptance, usage and willingness to use the e-Government services in Jordan. It investigates issues such as Jordan’s e-Government maturity level, citizen’s preferences when dealing with e-Government, citizen’s attitude toward using various e-services, citizen’s concerns and the required services. Design/methodology/approach – To achieve the research purposes, which needed a high rate of respondents to generalize the findings, we opted for quantitative research through questionnaires as an appropriate instrument base to address the citizens’ awareness and usage of e-Government services. In total, 7,238 distributed surveys were conducted across Jordan. The average of the responses rate in the three regions was 58.6 per cent. Findings – The citizen’s interest in e-Government services is declining, as the citizens’ level of awareness of e-Government and its services is still modest after more than ten years of the start of the e-Government program in Jordan. Citizens’ attitude toward using e-Government services is changing and determined by various factors and issues reported in the paper. Research limitations/implications – The selected governorates might not be the best governorates to represent the three regions of Jordan, the data took almost 15 months to be collected and analyzed which may have resulted in some changes to the reality. Finally, developing countries are not a homogenous group and, therefore, the results of this paper may not be generalizable. Originality/value – The findings present a number of key factors that hinder Jordan’s e-Government development. These findings can be useful for researchers and practitioners, as they provide rich insights on e-Government development. The findings can be also useful to other developing countries, as they can help them in understanding citizen related challenges when designing, planning and implementing their e-Government initiatives.

Full textAbstract:
The MarrakechInternational Women’s Cancer Days showcased a first-time international meeting of healthcare professionals worldwide to discuss, over the course of 3 days, aspects of public health, prevention, and treatment of gynecological cancers in the Arabic region. The focus was particularly on promoting globally sustainable research initiatives. The event was a joint initiative organized by the Gynecological Cancer Intergroup and the Pan-Arabian Research Society of Gynecological Oncology. The first conference day focused on the early diagnosis and screening of cervical cancer and the required action to establish equity within screening programs and improve cancer control strategies in the Euro-Mediterranean region. The second day highlighted current screening, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for ovarian cancer in the Arabic region, with particular discussion on the incidence of germline mutations in Arabic women with ovarian cancer. Centers from the Arabic region such as Jordan, Tunesia, Sudan, and Morocco presented their own data on ovarian cancer patients and local clinical practice, and barriers to treatment. It was highlighted that more support is required in surgical training and medical therapies. On the third day , the focus was on cervical cancer therapies and treatment. Interesting surveys on patient awareness of screening programs and cervical cancer were presented from various centers including Lebanon, Sudan, and the UAE. The conference ended with emphasis on patient education, and quality of life. The meeting provided a first-time platform for sustainable worldwide dialog and exchange on all aspects of gynecological cancers focusing on the Arabic woman and the particular barriers, unchartered territories, and challenges this patient population presents to the global healthcare community.

Full textAbstract:
With a high percentage of Syrian refugees population in Jordan aged 18 - 35 years, the number of refugees that are willing to access the job market is very high. Therefore, many organizations try to make these refugees qualified by enrolling them within many educational and training programs in order to enhance their skills, thus make them able to find jobs. However, with the presence of many challenges that are facing Syrian youths in accessing the tertiary education system in Jordan, many organizations that offered scholarships at the tertiary education level couldn’t achieve the highest possible number of beneficiaries. Accordingly, this study aims to highlight the obstacles and inappropriate practices of many tertiary education initiatives that led to a low number of beneficiaries, in order to overcome repeating such practices in the future.

Purpose This study sought to assess the process of initiating a sustainable recycling program at the University of Jordan. It illustrates the potentials of recycling, perceived awareness of recycling by the students and staff, as well as challenges to a sustainable waste recycling program. This study aims to identify the barriers and challenges that face a sustainable waste recycling program at the University of Jordan. Design/methodology/approach The study consisted of investigating waste recycling potential on campus, inspecting general environmental awareness toward recycling and running an experimental recycling study on part of the campus. A waste characterization study was conducted to assess the current waste status and recycling extent. A questionnaire survey was carried out to obtain information on the students’ and staffs’ awareness of waste recycling and management on campus. In the experimental recycling study, seventy units of waste segregation bins were distributed on campus. The recycling efficiency was evaluated at two schools; the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine. The administrative support and collaboration while running the recycling program were also observed. Findings Overall, waste recycling at the University of Jordan has an appreciable opportunity and potential. A substantial amount of waste can be diverted from going to the landfill. Data showed general positive recycling rates except for plastic. Also, the recycling rates show great potential for enhancing. The recycling at the University of Jordan faces several barriers and obstacles. The greatest barrier was identified as the lack of cooperation of the administrative system on campus. The administrative support for the recycling program was strong only at the initiation of the recycling program. Administrative support has a vital influence on the recycling program. It has the potential of boosting it or bringing it to halt. Future studies should focus on investigating recycling efficiency for the entire campus and focus more on increasing pro-environmental behavior among students and staff in higher education institutions. Originality/value The value of this research lies in it being conducted in a large campus university in a developing country. Also, the study used a diagnostic approach that is based on evaluating an environmental sustainability program as it evolves inside a higher education institution. The study illustrates the challenges that face universities in developing countries while adopting green campus initiatives.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Breast cancer consists 20.8% of all cancers, and 39% of females cancers in Jordan. Due to increasing prevalence; the Jordanian Breast Cancer Program (JBCP) was founded in 2007, to orchestrate national efforts and increase awareness on breast cancer screening and early detection. Several approaches have been taken, such as conducting home-visits, awareness lectures, campaigns, etc. The JBCP adopted the social responsibility as a robust tool for spreading awareness, which would allow the individuals to participate in raising awareness via different methods according to their capabilities, and embedding accountability in the community. In 2015, JBCP handled the responsibility in creating and leading for the first time the 'Think Pink Initiative' during October. Aim: The objective for; both public and private, is to build social responsibilities toward breast cancer cause and take actions to participate in educating their communities. Many private and public foundations, schools, universities, NGOs and ministries took part in this initiative transforming it in to a movement. The initiative is a new way to emphasize the importance of advocates and to encourage all institutions to support their employees by facilitating the early detection methods of breast cancer. It reflected JBCP's infiltration among Jordanian's community and the level of awareness reached all through the kingdom. Methods: Myriad of activities were steered under this initiative that initiated with aid of different departments in King Hussein Cancer Foundation by recruiting all sectors such as ministries, NGOs, schools, companies, and survivors. Tailored awareness was done by setting brainstorming meetings for the exchange of ideas for the events where the JBCP provided support for the events. In addition, awareness was complemented by providing free clinical breast exam for women above 20. Moreover, the social media portal of JBCP was also used to spread awareness. Results: Since the birth of initiative, a total of 404 events were done for the initiative in October. Initially, only 50 events done by the community compared with the following year, there was 152% increase where 126 events were done. In 2017, an 80% increase was observed where 230 events done signifying the viral effect of the initiative. Additionally, the message of the importance of breast cancer early detection and screening was successfully spread by the community itself to 50,620 members in only one month. As a result of the fund-raised money, 2,043 women were screened for breast cancer. Conclusion: Raising awareness among the community on breast cancer screening and early detection is a vital feat to initiate the cycle of decreasing the mortality and morbidity rate. The initiative planted the seed of responsibility for spreading awareness and transformed the concept into actions at all community levels. JBCP's dedications are to maintain the fight against breast cancer and save the lives of Jordanian women.

In 1980 American Nuclear Society scholars Walter Jordan and Samuel Glasstone delivered a coherent and methodological presentation of the consequences of nuclear power on the environment. Focusing on a multitude of matters extending from nuclear power and reactor safety to the discarding of waste heat and the biological outcomes of radiation, enclosed many of the concerns involving to nuclear environmental effect. Furthermore, America’s diverse legacy has allowed competing claimants to propose conflicting opinions of its position in the conclusion of the Cold War and the reduction of nuclear conflicts in the 1990s. Particular specifics, nevertheless, are beyond argument. United States headed over a immense nuclear accumulation and sprung an costly struggle to construct a defense versus strategic missiles that aggravated frictions with Soviet Union. This paper is aimed for specialists in any specific area and they will find the study presented as of a specific time period in nature and is therefore studies of later periods is recommended for advanced studies. Nevertheless, the educated scholars will possibly find the study informative and illuminating, and the paper will serve well the commitment to educating of misinformed community too. This study is thus endorsed for use in any activities engaged at public education in its subject matter.

University of Technology Sydney. Faculty of Education.This thesis explores the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within the educational system of Jordan. Educational systems worldwide are vigorously pursuing the integration of ICT as a means of staying abreast of the rapid technological changes associated with the knowledge-based economy, and the Jordanian education system is no exception, leading it to introduce several national initiatives in recent years. There has been considerable research undertaken into the impact of ICT upon society and upon educational systems, but such studies have been generally confined to Western contexts. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including Jordan, the little research which exists has been conducted for the most part by Western experts or international organisations. Moreover, in spite of massive spending on education by governments of the MENA region, there have been warnings of a serious and widening gap between current schooling outcomes and the skills required for effective participation in globalised workplaces. Therefore, the Jordanian education system has implemented two national projects, Education Reform for the Knowledge Economy (ERfKE), and the Jordan Education Initiative (JEI), which aim to equip the system and students with skills and knowledge to participate effectively in the new era. In examining the ways in which ICT integration has been planned and implemented in Jordan, the study investigated the roles of all three levels of the Jordanian education system: the central Ministry of Education, the regional directorates, and schools themselves. Research data were gathered using a mixed method approach, which combined the use of questionnaires and case studies. The study was conducted in two phases: in Phase1, two standard questionnaires were distributed to 120 teachers and 12 principals from the three regions of Jordan: North, Central, and South. Phase2 comprised two case studies involving two schools which were found to have optimal conditions for ICT integration compared with other schools in Jordan. The investigation in Phase2 included interviews, observations, site visits, and document analysis. The study identifies and explores three issues which are fundamental to the integration of ICT in the Jordanian education system. These are first, the geo-political location of Jordan in the Middle East, and the impact that turbulence in the region has upon education systems; second, the economic constraints experienced by Jordan as a developing country, which necessitate collaboration with private sector and international parties, and third, the internal and external complexity of factors which surround ICT integration initiatives.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the Jordanian Ministry of Education’s reliance on both the local private sector (public-private partnership) and foreign aids in order to accelerate its integration of ICT to meet the needs and demands of the knowledge-based economy. The discussion sheds light on strings attached to the role played by the Ministry of Education, as the central educational authority, in the diffusion of ICT across the education system. Understandably, in the Jordanian context, likewise other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, the education system has to deal with a great deal of complexities in which, internal and external issues can impede reform efforts. Partnership with local and international partners might be needed in the Jordanian context in order to initiate reform especially the large-scale and costly ones. ICT-related reform initiatives are expensive and require expertise in various areas which might justify seeking external assistance by the educational system. However, external involvement can impact the integrity of the educational reform when it is left with inadequate coordination and efforts in order to keep them in line with national interests and agendas. Furthermore, the impact of these issues can be severer when they are not taken into account during the planning stage of the reform. Thus, this chapter discusses major issues arose when international partners and the local private sector were involved in ICT-based education initiatives in Jordan.

The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 and the diffusion of the COVID-19 disease had and still has a huge impact on the world's population. The pandemic has also psychological implications and online activities can help to support people experiencing its consequences. The project COVID-19 LiTraPan aims to contribute to meet the needs that emerged during the pandemic in the field of humanistic higher education and quality assurance of distance learning. The line of research consists of the creation and study of corpora of works inspired and composed during the health emergency, and of their use for distance learning and discomfort management. In the first phase of development of the project, the author's choice fell on the Spanish and Catalan microtheatre production published online as a result of the initiative #Coronvirusplays, launched by the playwright Jordi Casanovas on 13 March 2020, which ran until 8 May 2020. In this contribution, the author synthetizes the first results of the investigation and distance learning activities in the framework of the COVID-19 LiTraPan project.

Full textAbstract:
Oxfam partners with the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD) through its Youth Participation and Employment (YPE) programme in order to connect with communities and train local community-based organizations (CBOs). JOHUD’s aim is to build the job-seeking capacity of youth in four governorates in Jordan. The programme organizes informal activities involving peer-to-peer education to help young people engage in the community as volunteers, and links them to various governmental and non-governmental institutions. COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns have altered the organization’s operations, with most projects shifting online. JOHUD has adopted a youth-led initiative aimed at matching young people’s skills with labour-market demand in each governorate where the programme operates. This case study presents examples of how the programme has helped young people transform into professionals, and how youth-led employment centres can contribute to youth development activities.
