The Minister of Education and the CEO of Orange Jordan visit a school

The Minister of Education and Human Resource Development, Professor Dr. Azmi Mahafza, confirmed that the "Digital Schools" program succeeded in providing an educational environment that integrated technology into the learning process for students, setting an exemplary model for the distinguished partnership between the public and private sectors, implemented by Orange Foundation in collaboration with the "My School" initiative and the Ministry, represented by the Queen Rania Al-Abdullah Center for Education and Information Technology. He pointed to the positive impact of the initiative in enhancing the presence of technology in classrooms and increasing students' confidence through their active participation in the "Wiki Challenge" to produce Arabic digital content. He affirmed the Ministry's commitment to developing developmental visions and linking initiatives to field needs, appreciating the role of the private sector in transferring expertise and modern technologies, and expressing his aspiration to expand the scope of the initiative to include more schools in the future.

For his part, the CEO of Orange Jordan, Engineer Philippe Mansour, affirmed the company's commitment to its social responsibility and its role as a leading and responsible digital provider, in line with Jordan's vision for digital transformation. He stated that the right tools, when in the right hands, can make a significant difference for both students and teachers in building the digital skills that will shape their future. Engineer Mansour praised the partnership with the My School initiative, whose deep knowledge of Jordanian schools was a key factor in achieving these results, motivating the company to continue supporting digital education in collaboration with the Ministry.

The Director of the My School initiative, Tala Saweas, appreciated the partnership with Orange Foundation, adding that the digital schools model proves that the combined efforts of the public, private, and civil society sectors can make a real difference in the lives of students. Addressing digital illiteracy today is as urgent as teaching reading and arithmetic, which is what the My School initiative seeks to establish by aligning its programs with the digital transformation plan of the Ministry of Education within its strategic vision.

It is worth noting that the "Digital Schools" program in Jordan benefits from the international expertise of Orange Foundation, as the scope of the initiative has expanded to include over 1,700 schools in 18 Orange-affiliated countries, contributing to providing digital content and training teachers for communities facing limited access to educational resources.

Orange Jordan and Orange Foundation place community service among their priorities, implementing an integrated corporate social responsibility strategy that includes four main axes: digital education, digital inclusion, entrepreneurship, and climate and environment, to promote sustainable community development and contribute to making a positive impact on society.
