Owais stated during the launch that the maintenance
segment was developed to complement the GIS, which was first implemented in
2016 with support from UNESCO, and to link it with the educational management
information system for optimal planning of the ministry’s schools and resources

maintenance procedures at schools to minimize implementation time, stressing
the need to train and empower teachers on the use of technology to enable them
to carry out such activities.
He indicated that the ministry will complete the
implementation of the plan in 42 educational directorates and 4,002 public
schools by the end of June 2022.
Owais expressed his appreciation to UNESCO and GIZ
for their continued support of the ministry’s development plans and programs.

plan, which will increase the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of
applications for school maintenance in Jordan.
