Ministries Launch Digital Skills Training For Educators

Amman, Sept. 6 (Petra) -- The Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship have launched a specialized digital skills training program targeting 136 supervisors and about 6,500 teachers nationwide under the Youth, Technology, and Jobs Project.

According to a Ministry of Education statement issued Sunday, the program, implemented by INJAZ, targets supervisors and teachers responsible for the digital skills curriculum across Jordan's governorates.

The launch included the start of in-person training for supervisors on the first two of eight program modules. The event was attended by Education Ministry officials, along with representatives of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship's Youth, Technology, and Jobs Project, the Ministry of Education, and INJAZ.

The ministry said the program is an advanced phase of training following the completion of instruction for digital skills teachers on methods for teaching the new curriculum for grades seven through 12.

The current phase focuses on strengthening supervisors' and teachers' specialized technical knowledge and skills and improving their ability to apply the curriculum's content in the classroom.

The program covers eight areas: computing systems, the impacts of computing, networks and the Internet, algorithms and programming, data analysis, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.

Training will begin with 136 digital skills supervisors from the Ministry of Education, preparing them to support teacher training and program implementation across the governorates.

Teacher training will use a blended model combining self-paced online learning, training with ministry supervisors, virtual sessions, and continued follow-up and support. The approach is designed to enable participants to complete all eight modules and extend the training to all targeted teachers.

The program also emphasizes practical application through interactive activities and exercises using digital tools and technologies, providing participants with opportunities for hands-on practice, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

The initiative, which aligns with the 2026–2030 Education Strategic Plan, is part of efforts to strengthen digital skills in the education sector and prepare teaching staff to keep pace with technological developments and equip students with skills relevant to learning and work in a digital environment.
