Project description
Supporting Jordan’s Education Reform for the Knowledge Economy Project (SJE) was funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The project built sustainable capacity in the Ministry of Education for the continuing improvement of curriculum, instruction, learning and assessment, focusing on ICT as a transforming and integrating technology.
Goal
To strengthen Jordan's human resources to support its transition to a knowledge-based economy, thus contributing to poverty reduction and promoting peace and security.
Partners
Client: Ministry of Labour (MOL), Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Funding agency: Canadian International Development Agency
Firm: Saskatchewan Polytechnic
Results
The project improved the skills of the country's economically active labour force segment but also the capacity of unemployed and out-of-school youth and adults seeking enhanced livelihoods through better skills development. This, in turn, contributed to a reduction in overall unemployment and provided the region with a more skilled and productive Labor force in support of the government's economic transition efforts.
