Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah presented the Queen Rania Award for Excellence in Education (QRAEE) to the winners of the 2022-2023 cycle at an event held at the Royal Cultural Palace in Amman on Wednesday.
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 QRAEE Association received 6,210 applications this year, with 5,969 from teachers and 241 from school counsellors. 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."
