Program Summary
The Technical Assistance Program (TAP), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is a five-year education and youth program that seeks to transform the organizational culture and improve the abilities within the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Youth to ensure officials can implement desired reforms. Creative and its partners will provide technical assistance in the development, roll-out, and tracking of policies and procedures to incorporate international best practices for public education and youth programming. Among the many activities in the Jordan Technical Assistance Program, it will support curriculum development, promote inclusive learning techniques, improve the skills of teachers and school managers, and other tangible activities that ultimately support changing the organizational culture within the two ministries and relevant agencies. The program will further support Jordan’s outreach and behavioral change communications initiatives that are aimed at creating a culture of reading, the inclusion of vulnerable children, and increased youth engagement.
In 2022, TAP, the MoE and NCCD collaborate on research on English language education in Jordan to gain insight on how to improve English language provision in Kg2-grade 12 in public schools, particularly after the COVID 19 school closures. The study used a collaborative approach engaging stakeholders throughout the study to validate findings and discuss implications. The results of the study included recommendations for teacher competences, curriculum, assessment, and policies. The results were shared, discussed, and validated in October 2022. In January 2023, the MoE, NCCD and the Ministry of Higher Education as well as implementing partners engaged in a set of meetings and working sessions to develop an action plan to integrate the recommendations of the study into policies and practices. The developed action plan has nine major tasks that will be worked on in the area of policy, teacher competences, curriculum and assessment. A task force has been identified to support and monitor the action plan.
