To mark the start of the new school year, Her Majesty Queen Rania paid a visit to Al Dulayl in Zarqa Governorate on September 4th. During her visit she attended a school fair and learned about the impact of the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) Healthy Kitchen Project on the local community.

Launched in 2015 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, and the World Food Program (WFP), the Healthy Kitchen Project aims to provide nutritious meals to school students and promote healthier eating habits among Jordanian children. The project not only provides students with healthy alternatives, but also creates jobs in community-based productive kitchens.

Her first stop was at Prince Abdullah Bin Al-Hussein District Secondary Mixed School where she was welcomed by school principal, Rahmeh Mashaqbeh, and RHAS Director, Hanin Odeh. She learned about 670 students from kindergarten to grade six are benefiting from the Healthy Kitchen Project’s meals.

She passed by the school’s Health Fair, where she joined parents, teachers, and children for a series of fun and informative activities promoting oral hygiene, sports, road safety, and hydration. Organized as part of RHAS’ Healthy School Program, the fair also offered free medical testing and awareness sessions on anemia and healthy dietary practices.

The Queen also heard from parents, who explained how the school’s programs have inspired their families to eat healthier.

A total of 241 schools across Jordan are currently participating in the RHAS Healthy School Program. More than 110 schools received accreditation at the Gold, Silver, or Bronze levels for the 2018/2019 academic year, including 35 that maintained their Gold level accreditation from previous years.

Principal Mashaqbeh noted that her school, which is accredited at the Gold level, has seen positive results after implementing a number of RHAS health awareness projects, including Ajyal Salima, Think First, and Water Education.

She later also visited Al Dulayl’s Healthy Kitchen, which is operated by Al Dulayl Women’s Association for Special Education, where she toured the kitchen’s facilities and spoke with its field coordinators and employees. The kitchen provides jobs to 25 members of the local community and supplies nutritious meals to 4,750 students from 22 public schools in the area. It also provides 40 daily meals to students with disabilities.

Established in 2003, Al Dulayl Women’s Association for Special Education aims to raise awareness on the rights of people with disabilities, build their skills, and create job opportunities for local community members. It also supports the integration of people with disabilities into society.

Queen Rania wrapped up her visit with a stop at the association’s Vocational Training Center for Persons with Disabilities, which offers training programs on marketable skills such as sewing and beauty care.

Association President, Fatmeh Dahamsheh, explained how revenue generated from Al Dulayl’s Healthy Kitchen is reinvested into the operations of the kitchen and vocational center, as well as physiotherapy sessions and a financial assistance program, in an effort to extend its impact far and wide across the local community.

Launched in 2015 as part of the Ministry of Education and WFP School Feeding Program, the Healthy Kitchen Project is currently being implemented in 283 schools in Madaba, Irbid, Ajloun, Zarqa, Mafraq, Balqa’a, and Karak, providing balanced meals to more than 57,400 students every school day.

The project has also created more than 300 jobs primarily for women, who are trained on meal production standards and the importance of healthy lifestyles.

Through this collaboration, university students aspiring to become teachers will gain the practical skills they need to make learning engaging for children.

Commenting on the new partnership, Her Majesty Queen Rania noted that this collaboration will shed light on QRTA’s important role in teacher training, and enhance the quality of education across Jordan by providing teachers with skills to excel in the classroom.

Her Majesty also thanked USAID for its support and its commitment to Jordan’s development, highlighting its focus on issues of concern to Jordan, and the crucial role the collaboration will have in expanding the reach of pre-service teacher training outside the capital, Amman.

Conveying her vision for QRTA, Her Majesty added that the academy aims to become a regional center for expertise in education development and teacher training, stressing the importance of adhering to the highest standards when scaling the diploma program across the country.

Established in 2016, the TEPD was developed in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, incorporating international best practices, while also addressing challenges unique to Jordan’s classrooms. The program has successfully empowered its graduates with improved teaching skills and enhanced students’ learning outcomes.
