On the occasion of World Teachers' Day, which falls on October 5th each year, the Ministry of Education honored 13 teachers from various governorates of the Kingdom, including 6 female teachers.
The honor included teachers who have won Arab and international awards, alongside a number of veteran teachers, in appreciation of their journey and contributions to the education sector.
The honored are: Muhammad Abdeedaat, Zayed Al-Samarat, Safi Al-Kassasbeh, Nahar Al-Sawa'er, Faiza Al-Muwami, Arwa Al-Dummour, Father Raed Samawi, Omar Arabiyat, Jala Shafiq, Fatima Al-Suraihan, Reem Dahnous, Muhammad Hilal, and Wardina Lutfi Al-Omari.
Al-Mahafza added that teachers bear responsibilities that go beyond the classroom and the textbook, facing renewed challenges and dealing daily with a generation that is rapidly changing and needs a teacher capable of inspiring, embracing their energies, and leading them towards the future.
Al-Mahafza emphasized that developing education and elevating the status of teachers form the basis for building a generation that possesses the knowledge, skills, and values needed by Jordan, indicating that investing in human capital is the most important investment in the future of the Kingdom.
He pointed out that King Abdullah II's continuous support for the education journey and his keenness to develop the educational system, enhance the status of teachers, and empower them, is a motivation to continue working with dedication and responsibility, so that education remains a fundamental pillar of Jordan's renaissance and progress.
Al-Mahafza said that the Jordanian teacher has never been just a transmitter of knowledge, but has always been and remains a key partner in building the state and shaping its future, seeing in every student a human project capable of making an impact in their homeland and society.
He added that the role of the teacher is not limited to producing a successful student, but extends to building a human being who knows how to think, dream, and rise after stumbling, affirming that every success achieved was, at some point, behind it, a teacher who believed in a student's ability to succeed.
Al-Mahafza paid tribute to teachers, appreciating their role in making a difference, instilling hope, and instilling faith in students' abilities, and carrying the message of science and the nation from one generation to another.
