Princess Basma,
honorary president of the
Cultural and Educational Forum for Private Schools, was
speaking on Saturday at the inauguration of the 29th Teachers’ Conference; organized
by the forum under the slogan "A self-renewing teacher in a flexible
school", according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
In her remarks,
the princess noted the important role of schools and teachers in the lives and
well-being of students, especially in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic and its
repercussions on all sectors, including education. She called on teachers to
arm the students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools for flexible
thinking to approach this new reality.
She highlighted
the importance of such meetings, which she said provide an opportunity for
teachers and other professionals to exchange ideas and experiences relating to
the future of their students and assist them in fulfilling their ambitions.
The head of the
forum, Wafaa Al-Shanar, said that the pandemic has created a fundamental shift
from classroom education to distance learning, which necessitated the introduction
of new strategies and methods, and required equipping schools with electronic
platforms and networks.
Today's teachers,

skills. “This new reality calls for a flexible school that provides teachers
with space and freedom to learn, innovate and be creative.”

"Tomorrow’s Generation for Moral Education, Intellectual Balance and
Emotional Intelligence", "Integrative Management for Sustainable
Community Education", "Multi-level Support System",
