Queen Rania's Closet ستايل الملكة رانيا

 On Wednesday March 26th Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah hosted a group of female members of the Jordanian military and security agencies for Iftar at Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman.

During the Iftar, Her Majesty relayed His Majesty King Abdullah’s greetings and well wishes to her guests, thanking them for their service to the country and their hard work in Jordan and abroad.

“One of the most beautiful things about Jordan is the relationship between civilians and members of the military. It is a natural bond, built on trust in and respect for the armed forces,” Her Majesty said.

While breaking the fast, Her Majesty heard from the women about their work and their family lives, and wished them prolonged and successful journeys in their service of Jordan.

 Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah advised young leaders to make the most of their time in order to advance the cause of peace, describing it as a "lifelong mission" that takes "not only every ounce of our strength, but every ounce of our time."

Queen Rania delivered her words in the United Kingdom on Monday October 2nd, speaking to a crowd of nearly 2,000 youth activists and leaders at the One Young World Summit in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This year's summit marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement between the British and Irish governments in Belfast.

Her Majesty recalled how the signing of this accord prompted His Majesty the late King Hussein to remain hopeful about attaining peace in the Middle East in 1998. She also emphasised King Hussein's role in the Wye River discussions, which took place the same year he was diagnosed with cancer and began chemotherapy.

She claimed that, despite his failing health, he insisted on travelling to the United States to press for the signing of a memorandum between Palestinians and Israelis aimed at restarting the Oslo II Accord.

"He saw our time on earth for what it is: finite, fragile, and never to be taken for granted," she said. She also quoted the late King, who declared during the signing of the accord, "If I had an ounce of strength, I would have done my utmost to be here, and to help in any way I can."

"Cancer reminded King Hussein once more of how precious time is." And, once again, he opted to live in the now..."He wanted to make every moment count so that future generations could live in peace," she explained.

Her Majesty noted that, despite the finite nature of time, "hope can withstand the test of time," and that individuals can "extend the time we have by using it well."

The Queen also emphasised the gravity of the world's most pressing issues, ranging from political polarisation to mounting refugee crises, climate change, and persistent discrimination and gender inequity.

"At a time when we're talking about advanced technologies like AI, it's absurd that many people still believe that the colour of one's skin determines their worth." And it's unfortunate that gender equality remains a goal rather than a reality," she said.

Noting that the Palestinian-Israeli issue remains a notable example of an ignored emergency in need of peaceful settlement 25 years after the Wye River Memorandum, Her Majesty drew attention to the injustice and cruelty that Palestinians face on a daily basis.

Her Majesty presented trophies and certificates to the recipients of the 17th edition of the Distinguished Teachers Awards, the fifth edition of the Distinguished School Counsellors Awards, and the third edition of the Excellence-Supporting Directorates Awards in her capacity as chairperson of QRAEE's board of trustees, in recognition of their exceptional contributions to education in Jordan.

The Distinguished Teacher Award was given to 18 teachers, and the Distinguished School Counsellor Award was given to two counsellors. Furthermore, 15 teachers and four school counsellors were recognised at the national level, while 14 teachers and one school counsellor were recognised at the directorate level.

For their efforts to spread a culture of quality and encourage educators to apply for the awards, the educational directorates of Bani Obaid, Al Qweismeh, and Busaira were each awarded a quality-Supporting Directorates Award. QRAEE, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, presented the winning directorates with certificates of appreciation as well as non-monetary incentives.

Dr. Azmi Mahafzah, Minister of Education, spoke at the occasion and emphasised the ministry's important collaboration with QRAEE, which strives to promote and develop the culture of excellence in education and improve society's appreciation for the teaching profession.

"The Ministry of Education takes pride in several significant accomplishments, such as implementing measures to revitalise the role of winners within their directorates, resulting in a concrete and noticeable impact in the field of education," stated Dr. Mahafzah. "In addition, QRAEE's databases and reports have proven to be reliable resources, assisting the Ministry in the development of professional development programmes for teachers and school counsellors."
