Artificial intelligence has become one of the most profound transformative forces shaping the future of education, through the integration of intelligent systems that analyze student data and deliver tailored educational content. This contributes to improving the quality of education and helps teachers make full use of these tools and acquire the skills needed to engage with modern technologies.

The integration of AI has helped change traditional teaching methods, foster innovation among educators, and enable schools to transform classrooms into smart learning environments—drawing the contours of a future education system characterized by intelligence, flexibility, and inclusiveness. This aligns with the Royal Vision for transitioning toward a knowledge-based economy, where artificial intelligence becomes a key driver of education grounded in innovation and scientific research.
Ministry of Education spokesperson Mahmoud Al-Hiyassat said that, as part of efforts to enhance digital education and integrate technology into the learning process, the ministry has launched the unified national platform for educational information management and e-learning, “Ajyal,” across all schools in the Kingdom. The platform represents a qualitative leap toward the digital future of education.
He explained that the platform leverages technology to provide interactive, personalized learning tailored to each student’s needs, while equipping teachers with data- and analytics-based planning, assessment, and monitoring tools. It also supports the production of national digital content and ensures its organized and secure availability, thereby strengthening the education system’s readiness for digital transformation and the future integration of AI technologies.
Al-Hiyassat added that the ministry has also launched the smart educational assistant “Siraj” as one of the initiatives of the National Council for Future Technology, in line with the directives of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to employ artificial intelligence in education. “Siraj” has enabled schools across the Kingdom to use AI-supported educational content through more than one million interactive conversations based on the official school curricula.
The smart assistant contributes to improving students’ self-directed learning, supporting teachers in content preparation, saving time, and boosting productivity, while continuing to be developed based on the results of the pilot phase.
The ministry has also developed electronic platforms to support the educational process and promote innovation and entrepreneurship among students and teachers through interactive tools that develop life and leadership skills, as well as digital environments that encourage communication and active participation.
In addition, the ministry has provided the academic fields platform for 11th-grade academic students, allowing them to choose and apply for their preferred academic field in line with the new General Secondary Education Examination (Tawjihi) system. A ninth-grade classification platform has also been introduced to help students determine their pathway to the secondary stage, whether through the academic track or the BTEC vocational education track. This early and effective guidance helps align students’ educational pathways with their interests and abilities.
For his part, AI expert and associate professor at the University of Jordan Dr. Ali Al-Roudan said that technology and artificial intelligence have become among the most important tools for developing school education, as they shift students from rote learning to learning based on understanding, analysis, and interaction.
He noted that AI technologies enable personalized learning for each student according to their level and pace of comprehension, with step-by-step explanations and instant feedback, which helps consolidate concepts and significantly improve understanding. They also contribute to building advanced digital skills among students, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, data analysis, and self-learning.
Dr. Al-Roudan emphasized that the integration of artificial intelligence with the Internet of Things and cloud computing transforms education from theoretical content into an interactive learning experience that mirrors the demands of the digital age. He stressed that the teacher remains the cornerstone of the educational process, with these technologies supporting educators by reducing routine burdens and enabling them to focus on guidance, critical thinking skills, and educational values.
He also pointed to the ministry’s efforts to develop school curricula by introducing concepts such as computational thinking, data analysis, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies, in line with future needs and labor market requirements. Training and qualifying teachers to use these modern tools and technologies remains a fundamental pillar of the success of this transformation, as no intelligent system can achieve real impact without a qualified human cadre possessing both technical knowledge and pedagogical capability.
Meanwhile, former Director of Education at the Ministry of Education Dr. Sami Mahasis said that artificial intelligence contributes to developing and improving the educational process through smart technologies, which involve a range of tools and foundations that require financial and technical investment.
He added that the ministry is keeping pace with modern technological developments aimed at advancing education by setting appropriate plans, including preparing infrastructure at the ministry’s headquarters and in school laboratories across the educational field. The ministry has also focused on training teachers and developing interactive digital curricula as the cornerstone for implementing digital learning in public and private schools.
Dr. Mahasis further highlighted the ministry’s plans to develop vocational and technical education, launched in the 2023–2024 academic year in line with the Economic Modernization Vision. Under the new system, vocational education is now taught over three years instead of two, to provide students with longer periods of technical training. This has been accompanied by the introduction of new and specialized disciplines aligned with global developments and market needs, such as aeronautical engineering, gaming, and e-sports.
