AMMAN – The Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA), chaired by HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, held a workshop at Al-Radwan Schools on ‘Quality of Education in Schools,’ as part of the Organization’s accreditation process being carried out at the school.
The workshop comes as a preparation for a Self-Evaluation report on accreditation standards related to governance, teaching and learning, innovation, resources and infrastructure, communication, documentation and continuous improvement. These standards are measured by a set of more than 130 indicators, all for the purpose of acquiring the educational accreditation provided by AROQA.
HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh indicated, “The application of quality standards and academic accreditation contributes to raising educational standards through quality control and monitoring,” adding, “This falls in line with rapid educational developments in today’s knowledge-based society, and ultimately will improve educational governance that support continuous improvement efforts.”
Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh said, “Keeping up with educational development requires the application of the latest technologies of teaching and learning. In fact educational programs are meant to offer opportunities for students to acquire knowledge and skills; and so using a comprehensive evaluation system that measures the improvement and development progress will definitely lead to better educational outcomes.” He added, “The availability of technical resources is essential to ensure support, continuous improvement and higher quality of the educational process.”
Mr. Munther Al Zamaily, the commissioned partner at Al Radwan Schools, congratulated HE Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh for being honored by His Majesty King Abdullah II through the Order of Independence of the First Class, for his distinguished achievements and contributions to the economy, education and technical fields.
