This achievement marks a significant step forward in advancing digital transformation in education and enhancing students' capacities to meet the demands of the future job market.
The new curricula were designed under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education and the National Center for Curriculum Development. The development process was based on the National Framework for Computer and Digital Skills, aligned with global standards, international best practices, and comprehensive reviews of national documents and existing Jordanian curricula. It also drew on the digital labor market supply and demand gap study launched by the Ministry of Digital Economy in 2022.
The process included the creation of integrated digital curricula for grades 7 through 12 and modern educational activity books for grades 1 through 6. These curricula were implemented in grades 7, 9, and 11 during the 2024/2025 academic year and are scheduled to be introduced in grades 8, 10, and 12 starting in the 2025/2026 academic year.
The new curricula cover eight key areas that form the foundation of students' digital skill development:
Computing Systems
Impacts of Computing
Networks and the Internet
Algorithms
Data Analysis
Internet of Things (IoT)
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Cybersecurity
The Ministry of Digital Economy emphasized that this milestone is a core part of implementing the Economic Modernization Vision and reflects its commitment to equipping students with essential digital skills for the future, while reinforcing Jordan’s position as a regional hub for digital education.
The ministry also noted that this development is part of broader efforts to support digital transformation in the educational environment. This includes the rollout and activation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in schools, and efforts to enhance digital infrastructure so students can easily and effectively access digital learning tools, including devices and internet connectivity.
