AMMAN — The Association of Queen Rania Al Abdullah Award for Excellence in Education (QRAE) announced the launch of the first cycle of the School Counsellor’s Award in the public sector for 2014, according to a QRAE statement released Sunday.

The award is the third under the association’s umbrella, stemming from a “strategic” objective to “expand horizontally to recognise distinguished educators”.

The QRAE also launched the ninth cycle for the Distinguished Teacher Award, and announced the commencement of the application phase for both awards, which will end on April 24.

“The launch of the School Counsellor’s Award aims to promote and reinforce school counsellors in Jordanian society and to recognise their key role in supporting students…” the statement quoted QRAE Director Lubna Touqan as saying.

The public can nominate teachers and/or counsellors by filling an online form available on http://goo.gl/7BlvRb.
