Amman, May 21 (Petra) — Jordan’s efforts to integrate artificial
intelligence into the education sector gained international attention
this week after OpenAI showcased the kingdom’s “Siraj” smart
educational assistant during the World Education Forum held in
London.
According to a statement issued Thursday, the “Siraj” project was
presented as one of the prominent international experiences utilizing
artificial intelligence to support learning systems and expand access
to advanced digital education tools.
The project is one of the initiatives developed under the National
Council for Future Technology and focuses on employing artificial
intelligence technologies to improve educational outcomes in schools
across the kingdom.
The inclusion of “Siraj” among international models showcased at the
forum reflects the progress Jordan has made in developing AI-driven
educational initiatives within a broader national vision aimed at
strengthening future skills and preparing the education sector for
accelerating technological transformation.
According to the statement, work is underway to expand and further
develop the project into a fully integrated platform within the
Ministry of Education’s learning management systems to support
students and teachers and improve access to advanced digital learning
solutions.
The World Education Forum, held annually in London, is considered the
world’s largest international gathering dedicated to education and
skills development, bringing together education ministers,
policymakers and global institutions to discuss the future of
education, innovation, digital transformation and artificial
intelligence applications in learning systems.
The statement added that more than one million students and over
100,000 teachers in Jordan have interacted with the “Siraj” platform
since its launch last year.
