Through a 1 million Euro contribution, the MoE, EU and UNESCO joined forces to support the implementation of the EMIS Policy that was launched by the Ministry in June 2022. The partnership will in particular look into enhancements to their education information management system (OpenEMIS) to improve data quality, accuracy and utilization, including enhanced data on refugees.
This initiative will build on the EU’s and UNESCO’s earlier support to Jordan’s Education Information Management Systems. It will also complement the ongoing technical assistance provided to the Ministry under the System Strengthening Partnership (SSP) programme, which is currently being implemented with Canada, the Italian Agency for Development and Cooperation (Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo /AICS), Norway, and Switzerland.
The project strategically aligns with the goals in the recently extended Education Strategic Plan 2018-2025 and contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG4. It also helps the MoE to monitor their commitments under the National Strategy for Human Resource Development (2016-2025), the Economic Modernization Vision (2023-2033), and the National Statement of Commitment made at the UN Transforming Education Summit in September 2022.
