Abstract

This chapter discusses the experience of adopting information and communication technologies (ICT) by the Jordanian education system. The discussion tackles the Jordanian Ministry of Education’s endeavour to update the education system for the Knowledge Economy by shedding light on its two main recent initiatives - Education Reform for the Knowledge Economy (ERfKE) and the Jordanian Education Initiative (JEI). Both projects included ICT as a key component for upgrading the education system for the Information Age. Jordan’s location in the heart of the Middle East as well as the countries scarce resources available for development makes education reform a challenging task for the education system. The chapter discusses the Jordanian education system’s approach in reforming itself through the adoption of ICT.
