The Jordanian Ministry of Education has launched the digital platform Siraj (Smart Educational Assistant) as a major step in the country’s digital transformation in education. The platform, currently in its pilot phase, is an AI-powered interactive learning environment fully aligned with official Jordanian curricula, designed to serve students from grade one through twelve.

The launch aligns with the directives of Crown Prince Hussein to integrate artificial intelligence into education and leverage technology to serve citizens, keeping pace with global advancements.
Siraj provides clear, detailed explanations of curriculum content, including all diagrams, illustrations, and visuals from official textbooks, facilitating student understanding, especially in scientific subjects.
The platform also features Arabic-language voice interaction, allowing students to ask questions verbally and receive clear, accurate spoken answers, enhancing accessibility and supporting diverse learning styles.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Mahmoud Hayasat, emphasized that Siraj is designed to provide a safe and reliable digital learning environment, rooted solely in official textbooks and teacher guides. Rather than giving ready-made answers, the platform encourages students to think, research, and analyze, linking information across subjects for deeper understanding.
All answers reference the specific page numbers and original document links, ensuring scientific accuracy and reinforcing trust in the content. Siraj also adapts to each student’s learning level, offering interactive questions and activities, gamified challenges, and competitions to make learning engaging and motivating.
Moneeb Tashman reported that during the pilot phase, over 16,000 teachers and around 55,000 students conducted more than 350,000 educational interactions. By the end of 2025, the platform had 202,262 active users, with over 1,068,946 interactions, reflecting growing trust and adoption.
The ministry plans to continue developing Siraj based on pilot feedback, conducting evaluations to measure its impact on learning outcomes, and involving students and teachers in assessing answers to ensure accuracy and alignment with the curriculum.
Siraj is intended as a support tool for teachers, not a replacement, helping them prepare lessons, explain complex concepts, design tests, and create worksheets, while enhancing classroom interaction. Approximately 60,000 educators have participated in related training programs.
This platform represents a strategic step in modernizing education in Jordan by integrating AI with official content, providing an interactive, safe, and reliable learning experience that supports self-directed learning, strengthens teaching, and improves educational outcomes as part of a national vision for digital transformation in education.
