He explained that this success was not the product of individual effort, but rather the fruit of the integration of roles between students, their families, their teachers, school principals, and administrative and supervisory staff, alongside the Education Directorate and educational development councils, stressing that this partnership forms an important basis for advancing the educational process.
He noted that Zarqa schools continue to present outstanding models of students who achieve achievements at the local and international levels, pointing to the King Abdullah II School for Excellence, alongside public and private schools, and their contributions to discovering students' capabilities, developing their talents, and enhancing the bright image of the city of Zarqa.
Al-Mashaqbeh commended the efforts of the security agencies in supporting the educational process and assisting schools and students, especially during the Tawjihi examination period. He also praised the efforts of the educational, instructional, and administrative staff and the students' parents for the support and follow-up they provided, which contributed to providing a suitable atmosphere for the students.

He praised the efforts exerted by teachers, school principals, supervisors, and employees, alongside the students and their parents, stressing that the achievements made are the fruit of the convergence and integration of these efforts.
He said that honoring the top students is not limited to celebrating their academic results, but carries a message of appreciation to every male and female student who chose perseverance and diligence as a path to achieve ambition, as well as being an incentive for their peers to continue working and exerting more effort toward success and excellence.
He emphasized the importance of consolidating the culture of voluntary work and community partnership in supporting the education sector, and enhancing cooperation between various relevant entities in a manner that contributes to advancing the educational process, and aligns with the attention given to the education sector under the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II and Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.
