Abstract
Jordan’s educational system is now based around the concepts of freedom, justice, and human and economic development in order to achieve a high level of productivity and progress. Jordan is one of the developing countries that are consistently attempting to align development with current global educational standards, as one of the Kingdom’s top priorities. The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) (2003), Education Reform for Knowledge Economy (ERfKE) (2003), Connecting Jordanians’ Initiative (2005), and English Interactive Online Initiative (EIOI) (2006), among others, have been initiated by the ministry. The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) was established in the same year as the ERfKE project (2003). Jordan recently revised the learning results for all of its national school subject areas, outlining what content students should know and what skills they should learn at—grade level.

Summary
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a small Middle Eastern country bordered by Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian territory (World Bank, 2012). Jordan is not a very rich country in terms of natural resources such as oil and water, but the government has expended efforts over the years to enhance the educational and health standards of her people (Abuhmaid, 2010). Jordan is considered to be among the developing countries that are consistently trying to align development with current global educational standards, as the Kingdom’s top priorities that include the promotion of teaching and learning process reveal. Since his ascension to the throne in 1999, King Abdullah II has attempted to keep Jordan up-to-date with global educational developments www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/sll
